    Natwest did me an unsecured flexi-loan for £40k. Interest is calculated daily, and is variable (tracks BoE base). There's also an arrangement fee, which I believe is 2% of the loan amount as standard.

    Thanks for your reply. Good to know there are options there, though I suppose it depends on your circumstances.
  • Although ob0t seems to indicate that he has one I would suggest this was opened before the credit crunch.
    The CCA only covers lender and borrowers up to £25000 (capital) therefore I would suggest it will be nigh impossible for you to get an unsecured loan nowadays for more than this.

    This is no longer true - the £25k limit has been scrapped this year.

    I would tend to agree, however, that any bank would be unlikely to be willing to lend over this amount on an unsecured basis in the current economic situation.
