Balance transfer to pay off certain accounts.

Hi I'm very new to balance transfer and forgive me if I sound abit dim but I know you can transfer credit card amounts over but can you do the same with different store accounts. I have online accounts with very, next, simply be and curvissa and it wld be cheaper for me to transfer the balance of these accounts onto a  0%credit card to enable me to pay them off quickly. Can I do this? And if so how? Thankyou so much x

    You can't use a balance transfer with store cards, you would need a money transfer offer to get cash into your current account and then pay off the store cards from there.

    When I had a balance on my very account what I did was pay it off with a credit card then I transferred the balance from the credit card to my 0%
