Have I messed up?
I have a balance on MBNA card of around £5000 at 0 percent for about another year. I pay minimum amount and have the £5000 in a savings account.
I have now taken the 0 percent fee offer of 21 months and MT around £7500 today and immediately did a BT of the same amount from another 0 percent card.
However , I have now been reading that this possibly has jeopardised my 0
percent on my existing balance of £5000 and I should have done this with no balance outstanding
is this correct and should I now pay off that £5000 asap or will my 0 percent still stand until the expiry of that offer

You have £5000 outstanding at 0% for another 12 monthsYou did a MT for 21 months of £7500 at 0% fee - what APR ?You then paid £7500 to the MBNA with a 0% BT from another cardMBNA will pay off anything that has been on a statement before it pays off the unstatemented interest bearing MT amount so will pay off the £5K 0% balance first plus £2500 off the MT leaving the remaining £5K MT outstanding and accruing interest.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
