Family member loan
Hello! My dad has very kindly offered to lend a family member some money (less than £1,500) Is there any paperwork he can give to be signed to say that the loan was given and the repayment terns?

Loan and Invest?
I have some money from the proceeds of a house sale and I was going to buy a motorhome and then invest the rest. I’ve found a motorhome now, but I don’t know whether I should use my money or get a loan and invest my money instead.

Payslip/Bank Statement Loans
It seems all loans do some sort of credit check on you (even though they may advertise that it is a 'no credit check loan') Are there any loans/payday advances where you send across documentation of payslips/p45/p60's over performing a credit check? It seems all the ones showing to me perform credit checks. I remember…

Overpay Debt or Increase Pension Contribution
I have a personal loan with an outstanding balance of £27500, 45 months left, £718/mth, which is manageable at the current time. If I overpay £100 a month I save £39 in interest, according to the banks’ loan calculator. I am guessing that is over the term of the loan. I am 58 this year so looking closer at my pension pot,…

We have a Nationwide mortgage of £90k on a property worth £300k with few outgoings other than the humungous CC's so with such a low LTV I thought it would be no issue consolidating but Nationwide said no. Call me cynical…

I took a loan of £22,600 from Post Office Money in November of last year. I was in a bad position at the time and signed up for the loan with an APR of 17.9%.
