                    Would it be possible to withdraw £1200 cash from credit card at 10.58% interest charge and balance transfer to new 0% credit card? Would this adversely affect my credit rating?

No but banks note things like this. So as we know credit score is meaning less, unlike banks reporting of cash withdrawals on a credit card.grumpy_codger said:Using your credit card for a cash advance doesn't directly affect your credit scoreA cash advance from a credit card account can appear on your Equifax Credit Report.

            Wouldn't it be easier to get a money transfer credit card and move the money straight from the card into your bank account?0
