Paypal Credit Pay off

Options
Hi everyone, 

I have £1400 owing on PP credit, 21.9% currently. I have 0% balance transfer credit card with £1500 available. 

I can't do a direct transfer so I tried to pay of the outstanding with another credit card and do a transfer across to the 0% card However, PP will not allow payments to be made via a credit card. 

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but is there any way around this? how can I get the balance from PP an to the 0%? 

TIA

    Money purchase card, transfer the cash to your bank and then on to PP. Cancel PP after if you don't trust yourself not to run it up again.

    Cancel PP credit anyway IMO - it’s a devil’s tool. You’re far from the first person to get sucked in too deep by them!

    Thanks both! I will try that way and cancel PP anyway, they said they were taking my DD on the app then didn’t and tried to charge me!
