Well, you are out of luck then. The only other option is to withdraw cash from some CC and then transfer the balance to a 0% balance transfer card. This will cost you extra about 3% cash advance fee.How big is the loan? Even a card with 0% on purchases can be of some help. Switch you spending to such card and use the 'saved' money to pay the loan off gradually.1

A money transfer (and there are only three cards who do that if you look at that link) transfers money into your bank account.MFW2026 said:Thankyou I have gone through some applications on that link allready however everyone so far won’t let me transfer a loan only a store or credit card
You then use that cash to pay off the loan
It's different to a balance transfer2 -

If you do decide to apply for a Money Transfer card, make absolutely sure you'll be able to clear the balance by the time the promotional rate expires. Otherwise you'll start being charged interest at the card's standard APR (likely much higher than you were paying on the loan) with no guarantee that you'll be able to transfer any remaining balance to another card.
