Need to borrow £2000 and pay back in 3/4 months.. what's the best way?
Hello
My husband and I need to borrow £2000 to help us buy a car.. we can pay it back in 3/4 months but not sure of the best way of borrowing it.
The options as far as we can see are our credit card, a virgin mbna one (which we currently always pay off in full at the end of the month)
Our overdraughts on our barclays accounts or a loan, but they seem very expensive.
We have never borrowed money before other than for our mortgage so not sure of the best way, especially as its a small amount.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks
Bex

0% credit card. Get one for purchases with introductory 0% rate. They only offer a few months but you should be fine if you want to pay it back within 3 or 4 months.
