    Your Loan Calculation

    Amount borrowed £2,000.00 Repayment Period 12 months (No Payment Holiday) Monthly payments £238.33 Amount repayable £2,859.96 APR 100.9%

    Guys I've just got to say do NOT take this loan out. An APR of 100.9% is a complete rip-off and extortionate to say the least.

    Even if you split the loan across more than one individual you are still paying the provider interest at a level of 200 times the current Bank of England base rate.

    You would be better off borrowing on a Vanquis or Aqua card.

    Agreed, they are taking advantage of the sub prime market and preying on the desperate.
    Thanks for the input Nick.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
