Sorry you're not explaining things at all very well.
It makes no difference if the account is in another name or whatever, if me also being a card holder allows the bank transfer to go through.
You haven't once said if that will stop me doing the bank transfer or not.
No you cannot do this.
It does make a difference to some lenders that account names match up - so you will not be able to make this transfer.
Hope it is clear enough.0 -
No you cannot as you are not the named ACCOUNT HOLDER.
Your are an ADDITIONAL CARD HOLDER.
They will check the name of the ACCOUNT HOLDER when making the transfer.
Likewise any debt you run up will fall on the responsibility of the ACCOUNT HOLDER despite the fact you ran up any potential debt on your named card.0 -

Cool, cheers.
We're gonna get yet another balance transfer card and shift the debt then, as it seems the only viable option.0 -
Though you may not get one with the limit you need, also having only just opened a card already as well..0
