Random Issue. Help Please!?

I have a kind of random issue and did not know who to ask if this is possible? To be honest I doubt it is but thought I would ask.........

I have an inheritance which I will receive at the start of October 08, although I need about 2.5k now (I realise it is only a month, but I need the money before then) I very much doubt this but is there anyway a bank would lend me the money if I could show proof of inheritance?

I'm sure I am being really dumb even contemplating a bank would do this but have seen there are a few bank professionals on this site so thought I would ask. :confused:

Thanks

  • hi unistudent
    when i have needed money in advance like that before, i have just gone to my bank, shown proof of the due money and they have given me an extended overdraft with a time limit on it, simple,you only then pay a minimal interest

    best yet if the inheritance is v large they will waiver this so they can get their hands on your dough
    Every day is a school day :T:T:T
  • No family cannot really lend it too me. O right, the extended overdraft sounds the way to go, Will go to the bank and ask nicely!

    Thanks for the advise, much appreciated!
