    makes no sense really..... they wont give me a bank account either - also i've been declined over 30 times in the last month so I doubt they will say yes to me - haha, i'll give it a miss I think......

    see here for loan info: http://www.halifax.co.uk/loans/Summary%20Box%20-%20Smaller%20Loan.asp
