    No number on your bills?  Or online?  I don't know why they wouldn't be willing to give you transfer details.  How have you been paying - would the details be on the paying bank account?

  • On the app it doesnt show the card. Yeah maybe it does show on statement - weirdly hadnt thought of that! Will check.

    Paid min payments since opening so presume they either arent making money or its a risk
  • The app does show your number - sort of!

    Download a pdf of any recent statement - under your name and address is a picture of your card complete with the full 16 digit number.

    Well it shows for me but my card has not expired - try it.

    Failing the above.
    Just ring & report your card as lost. They will replace with new one.

    Don't mention transferring debt.... Not something  they need to know. 👍

    So I doubt that approach will work,  there is no current card on the account.

    OK, just tell them that you want to make a payment to the CC by a bank transfer:
    To make an electronic payment you will need to use sort code  [Removed by Forum Team] and quote your 16 digit Virgin Credit Card Number as the payment reference. 

    I don't see how they can refuse to give you the CC number. If they do, raise a complaint.

  • If you have the documents from when you opened the account, the details you need may well be there.
