How do you check to see weather its good or bad? I cant remember what you have to do.

Basically i have an Egg card thats costing me too much in intrest and want to transfer the balance to a different card to get 0% on balance transfers so i can pay a bit more off.

I applied for a virgin card aaaaaages ago and got declined Am a little scared to apply for a 0% one now incase i get declined again.

Anyway to check? Can you do it online?

Jambeth, try http://www.checkmyfile.com it tells you for free what your credit score is like based on a few simple questions like where you live, your payment history for debts, etc. and recommends credit cards and loans suitable for your credit rating.

I've used it before and even with my shit credit rating I managed to get credit cards and that from the places they recommended.

bear in mind nearly all the places who offer 0% balance transfer charge an up front fee or around 2% of the balance you are wishing to transfer.

probs better than 18% odd your payng in intrest though.
