    Example you showed above is exactly what I'm on. Hopefully get rid of them soon though!
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    My oh keeps getting these offers. Absolutely shocking rate of interest. I think maybe it is because he has a Vanquis card that he is getting targeted.

    But the bank will not lend you an amount as small as £300 and come to your doorstep to collect your repayment........

    However, I would suggest a credit union instead.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I took out a Provident loan for a mystery shop mission.
    It was scary just how quickly they give you the money, the woman came and 5 mins later I had the cash!!!!
    When I called the next day to change my mind she said "I don't blame you, I wouldn't have one of these!"

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
