Advise on paying of loan with Balance transfer
I bought an item recently which cost me sub £1000 with six month to pay off full amount interest fee then you go into there high interest terms etc. Could I get a balance transfer card to pay of that loan that has better terms over a longer period to pay if off? My credit history is pretty good I am just looking to give myself a bit more time post xmas etc.

As zx81, you can do this with a money transfer.
You need to check for and fee's associated with such a service. Also if you start letting the amount you pay off each month slip, you could end up paying more interest.0 -
