Novuna Finance Not Accepting Credit Card Payments - Suggestions Please!

Hi all,
I bought a kitchen in June 2023 using Novuna Finance. I've saved half the money to pay it off before the repayment start date of 06th April, and secured a 0% credit card for the balance of £8500.00.
However I've just been told (and it's in the small print!) that they only accept direct debit, debit card or cheque for payments. Any suggestions on how I can navigate this please? 
All help gratefully received! Thanks

    You have probably had a near miss... paying finance with credit, when allowed, is normally treated as a "cash like transaction" and not a purchase so not only do you not get your 0% interest rate but you get a fee on the transaction too. 

    Money transfer card is your safest bet but limits tend to be lower and naturally you've already got searches from the BT card.
