Credit card transfer advice please

3 Posts
Hi,
My partner has several cards with around £3000 on each. We considered trying to get a 0% transfer but she only has a part time job. I do not process a card but, now have a full time job. I know that I can get a credit card in my name and transfer some of the balance from one of her cards but, here is the question. Would I be able to apply for a 0% interest card and transfer some of the debt from her cards to it. We have a joint account and have done so for many years and believe our credit rating is quite good.
The other option is to take out a 5 year loan, consolidate our debt and end up paying approximately £70 less each month on the credit card repayments. I wanted to explore a way of reducing the loan amount by trying to transfer some of the debt to a 0% card. Any ideas please, thank you
Regards David

You say you have joint accounts so there is probably a financial link between you. The existence of your partner's debt will be known to potential lenders.
You also say that you don't currently possess a credit card.
The fact that you don't currently have a credit card could make applications harder to be accepted and also could affect the credit limit you are likely to get. If we are talking about a 5 figure balance here, don't imagine for one moment you will be given a sufficient credit limit to cover it all or even half of it!
