Lowest APR loans.

With the credit crunch not surprisingly low rates are harder to get. Even so the institutions are still advertising some tasty looking deals-until you try to get one!
I applied to my own bank who ive been with for 14 years for a consolidation loan their so-called 'typical' rate is 8.8% APR-allegedly offered to at least two thirds of applicants- but they could only offer me a deal at a much higher rate so i told them to shove it up you know where! My repayment record is A1and i have plenty of history.
Typical rates were easily gotten not so long ago so i think they are now telling fibs just to tempt people in and maybe accept something unfavourable.
.
Anyway, as each application has a slight negative impact on one's references who are offering the best rates and acceptances right now for good payers ?

  • I know barclays currently have loans at 7.9% apr ( I've just applied and been accepted for one ) but I think you have to borrow between a certain amount. You could have a look into that maybe, although im not sure what their acceptance rates are like :confused:
