Credit balance on credit card

Probably a daft question but I cleared my credit card balance but then accidentally transferred £50 into it so can I just withdraw it at an atm without incurring any fees?

    No.

    Ask them to send you the balance.

    Or more simply, just spend it.

    So if I withdraw it they will still charge me ?  Even though it's my money, I'm not borrowing it  :/  That's a nuisance cos I bet I won't get through to them on the phone with everyone trying to sort out their finances with no job etc.  I can but try I suppose.
    I don't really want to spend it because I could do with it in my current account at the moment.

    No, you're not borrowing it - that's why you won't get charged interest.

    The fee is for withdrawing cash.
