CC to pay off bank loan

I have a bank loan of £6362.

Is there a credit card that I can pay it off with. the bank are telling me that it would be classed as a cash advance or a cheque so there is no way I can get this over to a 0% deal at all. I'm currently paying 6.8% on the loan.

Or is there a bank account offering low rates that I could transfer the debt to?

Thanks for your help

    It is possible to transfer debts from loans to credit cards

    whether it makes financial sense depends upon your circumstances

    how much can you pay off each month?
    EU tariff on agricultual product 12.2%
    some dairy products 42.1% cloths 11.4%

    You could apply for a credit card with 0% on purchases. So long as you use the amount saved to pay off your debt.

    And some 0% credit cards DO allow you to bt from your bank account. (Why should your bank tell you about these?)

    No guarantee you will get these cards, of course - depends how they judge your default risk.
    However hard up you are, never accept loans from your friends. Just gifts

    I could pay the min then probably pay it off at the end of the period if it was 13/15 months 0%. I'm in the 'I've got some savings and a loan' syndrome, but not enough to pay it off yet unless I empty my ISA.

    basicaly the MBNA stable of CCs and eggmoney allow BT from your current a/c which you can then use to pay off the loan.
