in Credit cards
So the problem I have is this; I currently have a 0% credit card which ends soon and will be shifting the balance (approx. £3500) to another 0% credit card. However, after I have transferred the balance to a new card I will still have on-going fees to pay for each month and will not have the funds in my bank account to cover it, therefore which credit card do I use if any for these additional costs? If I use my existing credit card then I will get charged the interest rate but I do not want to use my new credit card either as I just want to use that to pay off at least the minimum fee each month. Any advice please?

By fees, do you mean purchases?
If you don't have the funds to pay for purchases, you need to delay them until you have them. Adding more to your debt is a poor idea.
Failing that, a 0% purchases card is the better answer to minimise interest.

Basically, I have on-going legal fees to pay for at least the next few months which I cannot afford to pay outright. I have been using my credit card to pay these but as I said, my current credit card will be ending its' 0% introductory rate very soon so although I will be transferring the balance onto a new card I will still have the issue of future payments, which card to use without incurring charges.0
