Martin Lewis: Why you should get a balance transfer credit card
Martin Lewis details why you should look into getting a 0% balance transfer card if you can't afford to pay off your debts each month or are paying interest on them.
A 0% balance transfer is when you register for a new card and use it to pay off the debts on the old card, all at 0% interest.
"Absolutely everyone who is paying interest on credit card debt should check whether they can get a balance transfer", Martin said.
Martin explains that if you can clear your debt within the time period of the card, "there's only a small cost to pay - that one off fee" or if you get a no fee card, "there's no cost at all to your debt".
