5 credit cards, $2,000/$11,000 cc utilization = 18%, 3-year-old $103k mortgage, $32k in school loans, $8,000 personal loan, $12,000 auto loan
Congrats on the Navy Approval... it's 0% for the year! Why don't you transfer the personal loan and refinance the car loan because some how I bet you pay more than what Navy would cost you and/or approve you for!

The rep said the rate was ~9%, he didn't mention anything about 0% for a year...Is this an automatic thing?
Both the personal loan and the auto loan is at 4.99%, so I don't think a transfer would be the right move....unless I transfer the auto loan, then I can get ownership of the title so I can cut my coverage on my car insurance. That might save me about $50/month. I plan on having my car paid off in 1 1/2 years.

Do you have a link to that? Can't find anything.....Is that 0% on the transfer fee only or does it also apply to the APR of the transferred balance?
Is a transfer from a personal installment loan to a credit card considered a balance transfer? I checked with my bank (First Niagara) and it is actually classified as an "Equipment Loan". Not sure if that makes a difference. The reason it's classified as an Equipment Loan is it was part of a special offer they were running for people in the area of Hurricane Sandy.
Thanks!
