Transferring your credit card debt to a new credit card can be a great way to save money in the short term, but - more importantly - should be used as breathing space to sort out your debt in the long term, advises Credit Card Genie. Ref. CCG1506/05 Date: 15 May 2006 For immediate release Transferring your credit card debt to a new credit card can be a great way to save money in the short term, but - more importantly - should be used as breathing space to sort out your debt in the long term, advises Credit Card Genie, the independent website which helps consumers find the best balance transfer credit cards. Philip Wilkinson, CEO of Genie Group, comments: "There are some great balance transfer deals out there if you shop around, and you might be able to secure a break in your repayments of up to 12 months. If you have large credit card debts, this kind of window could be invaluable, but clearly should not be used as an opportunity to simply run up bigger debts. "Feedback from our users suggests that in-debt consumers should take advantage of these special rates from the competing credit card companies, and use the opportunity to pay off as much debt as possible. Zero balance transfers often mean high APR's, so make sure that you don't run up even more debt." Top deals for balance transfer rates: 1. Barclaycard Platinum - 0% balance transfer for 12 months, then 17.9% APR. 2. Marbles - 0% balance transfer for 9 months, then 14.9% APR. 3. virgin Option 1 - 0% balance transfer for 9 months, then 14.9% APR. 4. Post Office - 0% balance transfer for 6 months, then 14.9% APR.
