Store Card Debt

I have a couple of store cards and some catalogue debt to pay off - I currently have no credit cards - I am wondering if paying them off with a credit card then moving to a zero balance transfer low interest rate card would be a better option to get them paid off quickly and without massive interest rates that these store cards and catalogues charge.. hope this makes sense this is my first post.. not really sure if the above is even a viable option - any advice would be appriciated. My total debt amount is £3500.00. Thanks

    It's only viable if they accept card payments. Easier would be to get a money transfer card if you can.

    However, if you have substantial catalogue debts, that suggests you may not fit the profile for a decent promo card. Try an eligibility checker.
