Transfering overdraft to credit card?!!

Advice please!
I'm paying 17% interest on my HSBC overdraft over £500 (-1100 balance). I've heard that you can transfer overdradts with certain cards i.e eggmoney and MBNA, does anyone know which ones work and had experience of it? Don't want to have to apply for 2 more cards because the egg one is like a 'mule'.I don't want to take out a loan (:Aalready have one of those, lucky me) ideally I need a 0% balance transfer.
Help!
thanks

    I would suggest applying for the Virgin credit card and transferring what you need to your current account to pay off your overdraft.

    I used to have a virgin card but paid it off and closed it, would I still be legible?

    Thanks

    I assume you mean eligible? :D

    I've read a few times on this site that you can reapply at virgin 2 or 3 months after you closed your last card.
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.
