in Credit cards
Hi,
I've got 2x credit cards (virgin and sainsbury's) with available balance to do balance transfers to. I have roughly £3.8k on my other credit card and £2k on the wife's I'd like to transfer.
Both virgin and sainsbury's said they can't transfer from my card but didn't give me any reason as to why. And both said they can't transfer from my wife.
So how do I go about moving the debt to my 0% transfer cards?
Thanks in advance.😊

What are the other cards?
A new money transfer card would be one solution.0 -

Have you tried online or only over the phone? I have transferred balances from my wife multiple times over the years (normally family holidays so "joint" debt anyway). Always done it online and never had a fail yet. Almost certain one was Barclaycard to Virgin but would be a while ago.0
