balance transfer of current account overdraft

Just wondered if anybody could tell me whether I could transfer a current account overdraft onto a life of balance credit card using a balance transfer.
thanks.

    A few rather special cards will allow you to transfer an overdraft to them (in other words, transfer cash from the credit card to your current account) at balance transfer rates, but I don't know of a life-of-balance card with this capability.

    Note: Barclaycard issues life-of-balance credit card cheques from time to time. These can be used to settle bills, but if you paid one into your bank account, you'd be charged for a cash withdrawal - not recommended, not unless you have money to burn :eek:

    it would need to be a 2 stage process using a barclaycard and an MBNA type card....transfer the OD to the MBNA super balance transfer card....and then transfer that to a life-of-balance card such as the Barclaycard 6.9%...but you need the cards to do this...
    For what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 2007
