    Just had a call from Provident asking if I would like a £1000 loan. I'm tempted! I know the APR is high but £20 a week isn't that much and the agent is great if you can't meet a payment or you're away for a few weeks.

    I had a call in the week. I told them to get lost! I've got enough at the moment.

    I would rather a credit card.:(

    What did they offer you? I would rather have a CC too - a nice Virgin one so I can transfer the cash to my bank account
