Credit Card then loan

[BMR]

If for example I took out a CC with a 0% on purchases introductory offer, then come towards the end of that period I took out a personal loan to pay it off, would the fact I had £X amount on that card affect my credit rating in anyway to be granted a loan?

[Kudos]

yes. Make sure you make all payments, preferably more than the minimum. This shows you can afford to pay it back.

Alternative could be to get another 0% and balance transfer

Thanks - so as long as I'm paying back the minimum a month my credit rating won't be affected (should be improved maybe?)

For some reason it didn't dawn on me that on a 0% offer I would need to pay back each month, but it's obvious now.
