How do I find a loan shark

I am a regular but have changed my name as I am
I cant get credit but need a loan asap.

Please think very carefully before you do this. If you can possibly find a way to avoid doing it, please take that option.

Please, please, please, please don't. Look for a \link{http://www.abcul.org/page/index.cfm\credit union} and/or contact the CAB instead.

No idea. Whats the money for? Is there any other way? If you need to be going to a loan shark are you going to be able to pay it back or is it going to bring trouble to your door?

I dont mean the illegal ones that bully you, but I dont mind paying a huge interest rate, is there something similair to provident?

I can pay it back very easily, but need the money within the next week or so, cant say much, as dont want to give myself away.

There are borderline ones like Provvy which are legal but seriously, they are bad news. Huge numbers of people end up in serious trouble.

why do you not mind a huge interest rate..???

Can you pawn something, if it's just a short-term loan you need?

Do you know if the credit union loan to people with a bad credit history?

I mean if I have to pay alot of interest to get a loan, then I can live with that, just as long as I can get a loan, I only need about £1000

Look on the website, find the nearest one, and ask.

thankyou

Why can't you get credit? You can check your credit file online free (trial) \link{http://www.creditexpert.co.uk/UK/index.aspx\here}.

If you are on benifits you can get a budgetting loan for the DWP, there is no interest on them..

cant do that, dont even have a credit card, and it requires one............d'oh

I used my debit card as I don't have a credit card either.

do you know why you have a bad credit history?? eg; do you have ccj's etc

I dont have any ccjs, but I have a few defaults, and I have let a few debts purposely go to debt collecters before paying them off, that way the interest is stopped.

how long ago was it, if you dont mind me asking?

a couple recently

ah..that may affect your credit rating then, i would advise against going to anyone shonky though as you run the risk of an astronimical interest rate, so that if you find yourself in the posistion to pay the loan back(settle early), the figure has quadrapuled from the original loan

The thing is we are suddenly in a much better financial situation, so I can now pay back my debts, but I just need £1000 now, as I cant save that much in the time that I need it by, but can easily afford to pay it back in monthly installments, if that makes sense.

csmp can you go to the bank and ask for a loan
could they not put a standing order on you wages if they think you are not credit worthy
