quick dumb credit card question

[phdlife]

Does anyone know what happens if you open a new credit card, they offer you a £2000 limit, but you want to transfer a £3000 debt?

they more than likely wont let you doit.you can transfer balances onto new cards upto it 95% of the credit limit they give you which would be £1900,this is to try to prevent you going over your limit and incurring any charges

ah that is very useful to know, thanks!
