I'm needing £3k to tide me over for around 6 months. I rattled in a loan app through my bank Santander and got approved but they've hiked the APR up to 24.9% as apparently they consider me to suddenly be a high risk. The total repayment is £3372 something based on £281 and some pence per month. That's in credit card territory, but needs must.
I've got a Virginmoney CC and they're showing me a cash transfer offer of "0% interest until your statement date on or after 07/03/2021 with a 4.00% fee then returning to your standard interest rate. Offer available until 07/05/2020."

I've no idea how CC interest and fees are calculated. If I were to take £3k through them and pay £250 per month over 12 months can anyone tell me how much I'm going to get rushed for? Is it as simple as £3k + 4% = £3120 total or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks all.
Thanks all.
