I was juggling round some debt - and in the process of moving balances and getting myself a virgin 0% for 9 months I accidentally, and I do mean it, had virgin pay off a 3.5k barclaycard balance which I'd already temp shifted to cahoot. Leaving a 3.5k positive balance. Which resulted in my calling barclaycard who offered to put it straight into my current account. needless to say my overdraft went too and the lot is now with virgin at 0%. No fees, happy days.

I did this as well with HSBC bank - I was waiting for a BT from Sky which took too long so I paid it off myself but couldnt stop the balance transfer. HSBC said they would transfer it into my current account if the credit card ended up in credit - yippee. So it seems as tho a few banks do this
