Questions about Balance Transfers

padcom9

Can anyone tell me what MERCHANDISE INTEREST is? I have recently arranged a Balance Transfer and found this charge on the credit card!

Is it possible to do a balance transfer from a card (not in my name) to a card in my name?

Yes you can transfer whoever's card you like to your card, it can be your mum, your dad, or just Dave from down the pub (he may even buy you a beer :beer: )

However, please be aware that once the debt is transferred you are solely responsible for paying that debt back - Dave could disappear to Cyprus and you would be left with the debt repayments.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! Just looking at options at the mo. Its not a huge debt, but due to a muck up with a loam (not his fault) he cant get credit. Just looking 0% for a year, or less, but virgin one looking good. might do a bit of stoozing with "leftover" credit. Appreciate your help

Hi Dan,

Can I transfer a balance from my wife's card (on which I am currently a second card holder) to a new 0% card in my name?

Thanks,
Moriarty

Yes, by using the Egg Money Card Trick.

Hello,

I have paid off the store card by doing the balance transfer last month...

I am planning not to use that card, but thinking maybe I should have it stored away somewhere just incase I might have to use it or something......

But is it best to cancel the account anyway? Does that improve the credit scoring in any way? If yes I would rather cancel it! :rolleyes:
