I need advice on a card that will accept a balance transfer of approximately $5,000 for someone with less than perfect credit. My credit for the past several years is perfect, but I have some old, small scars.

How old are your small scars? Negative information stays on your credit report for seven years, maybe the old scars are healed. One of the attractive products on our site for balance transfers is the
Nextcard Visa (fixed rates as low as 9.9% and
a 3 month intro rate as low as 2.9%. The maximum credit limit I believe is $20,000) Good Luck.
