Hi All,

I am after a £1500 loan to hep with my living costs while I wait for commission to come through from my job. I went to my bank and they have declined me as a default is showing on my credit report from 5 years ago. Is there anywhere else I can look for this loan?

Thanks
Proud dad to Darcy.....

    In my opinion, if your default is for a massive amount, companies like Black horse can sort you out with this loan but rates are high.
    Another option would be to try for credit card e.g vanquis or capital one as source of emergency spending (not for cash advance) and then repay back in full when you get your commission.
    Also, have you tried you bank for an O/D?
