The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Hello all - i have just applied for ( and received) a Barclaycard offering 0% interest so that i could transfer the balance from another card, however Barclaycard have refused to allow me to transfer the balance. What would the reason be for this?
If you are a new user they sometimes heavily limit balance transfers (not sure why). Perhaps that could be the reason. Have you phoned Barlaycard and asked them why?
Yes, try phoning them and be very nice (not being funny).
You may get more info from them being pleasant and not irate.
Seeing your various threads, it may be worth asking if anything adverse has shown up on your credit rating - may also be worth taking a look at it yourself to see if anything shows that is not in YOUR name.
It's odd that they've issued the card then refused the transfer.
Any help and advice is offered in good faith, based solely on my own knowledge and on experience gathered from this site. I am not qualified to offer legal or financial advice, which you should seek from an expert before making any important decisions. My opinions are therefore offered without liability.
If you have online access to your new account, then it will tell you the amounts you can transfer, draw cash etc?
How did you request the transfer?
Is the old balance with a Barclays credit card?
I find it odd that i cannot transfer a balance from another card. The card i want to transfer a balance from is my Egg card not another Barclaycard. I tried to arrange the transfer online.
Thank you for requesting an online balance transfer.
I regret to inform you that we are unable to process your request
for a balance transfer. For further clarifications regarding your

The above is what was e-mailed to me. I suppose i will just have to call them
- i just wanted a lower interest rate lol.
