Debt consolidation and Letting deposit.

Hi All,

I currently have £3055 owed to Barclays for a career advancement loan, and £400 outstanding on a barclaycard.
The Barclaycard is at thier standard rates (22.9% I think)
The Barclays loan is coming to the end of a 0% Buy now Pay Later period. and will shoot up to over £6000 overnight.
Also, my housemates and I want to move house and have found a cracking property, which will see all our rent, bills etc reduce. So I don't want to miss out. But I don't have the deposit.
My credit rating is shot to hell thanks to poor money management and a CCJ in my student days. My own banks - A&L and LTSB won't let me have a loan, but A&L have bumped me onto a company who's typical rate is 59.9%

Anyone know a company that will consolidate my debts and let me have a further £1000 at a decent rate?
