So-Fi or other companies for personal loans
Hi!
Looking to take out a personal loan or some other rec to pay off credit cards. It's not a huge amount, but don't want to pay this interest, nor do I want to play around with opening zero interest cards to transfer funds, etc...
Any guidance??
Many thanks!

Why not do a balance transfer? You will pay intrest on any loan you get

Because it's a major pain in the heiny to transfer to new cards and remember the date that the zero percent or low percent expires, God forbid you don't plan right then they charge you all the interest if the balance is left over... Too much management.

They actually don't do that. They only start charging intrest on what left on the card. I have done this many times for big purchases I charge on my points card and transfer the balance to pay off intrest free.

There are many cards that have 18 month interest free introductory rates. That way, only do this balance transfer, put nothing else on the card and calendar 18 months to pay it off. Honestly, your credit will be hit for either a new CC or a private loan. Also, with the 0% rate, you will save a lot of interest since most private loans have interests rates above 10%.
