Balance Transfer query

AJ84

Hi all,

In short, there is a card with 4 balance transfers on it. The amount going in will settle 3 of these within the expiry of each of the balance transfer offers. The 4th one will miss it by a month ... maybe two which means up to 2 months interest.

If I transfer out the balance just for the 4th balance transfer OUT of the card to another card, would that work or would it take the amount from the end of the overall balance?

for instance and this is just random figures:
BT1: £1000 0% until Jan 2018
BT2: £1000 0% until April 2018
BT3: £1000 0% until June 2018
BT4: £1000 0% until June 2020

BT 1 and BT 2 will be paid off within the period.
BT3 however won't be - if this is removed and moved to another card, BT4 will be paid well within the balance transfer period.

So if I remove the BT3 amount to the penny to another card, does that do the trick or would it in actual fact remove it from the balance of the total outstanding?

It's not a huge issue - if it can't be done, I'll just pay in more but it was just a thought

Thanks all.

PS: the transfers were done in that order too so the newest BT would be BT 4 and the oldest being BT1

Essentially, payments will be allocated according to the terms.

So if the terms apply payments to the BT ending first, all payments will go through in that order. You couldn't clear BT 3 before 1 or 2.

Ah I see - thanks for the quick reply, I'll dig out the statement and see if it states it on that

The providers website should also tell you about allocation of payments.
