Credit card debt

Ah I figured out why it!!!8217;s because I!!!8217;m a PhD student. My partner is in full-time employment so if I put his details in I get a lot more options with 100% chance of success including virgin. However, the £5000 on the credit card is in my name. If we took out a balance transfer card in his name, would we be able to transfer the £5000 debt that is in my name?0

Yes you can transfer to a card in someone elses name. I do that to keep our debt at 0%, constantly switching between myself and husbandAh I figured out why it!!!8217;s because I!!!8217;m a PhD student.

the exception is Tesco which do not let you BT from a card in someone else's name. Everyone else does.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Pensions, Annuities & Retirement Planning, Loans
& Credit Cards boards. If you need any help on these boards, do let me know. Please note that Ambassadors are not moderators. Any posts you spot in breach of the Forum Rules should be reported via the report button, or by emailing forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.

Thanks all, the Virgin card has been approved in my partners name. Thanks for all your help. Hopefully now I will be able to clear the debt a little quicker0
