Balance transfer question:
I have a chase cc balance of $8k and owe someone $5k. I want to combine the 2 using the Chase slate, but can't pay back a person using the Slate (without having to pay a fee for an access check) or transfer balance from Chase to chase.
My idea: pay off the guys cc bills with the Chase Slate balance transfer for ($8k plus $5k =) $13k and have him pay the $8k cc balance off and the rest he'll keep as his payment.
Is there anything I'm missing that could get either of us into a mess?
