Trying to obtain a loan to pay of credit cards

Hi Guys,

First post on here so go easy!!

Okay my story, whilst at university I obtained 6 credit cards

All of which were placed on a payment plan, with guidance from my university, this was in 2005.

Two of these cards are set as default.

Also I have a satisfied CCJ which will be removed from my credit files December 2009.

Im looking at obtaining a loan with the above poor ratings, for £3,500.

This will pay off my credit cards. I have debt of £6,600, but have managed to agree full and final settlements of £3,500 with the credit card companies.

Can someone point my in the right direction for a loan. I do not want to secure it on my house.

I currently pay £230 a month on the cards. So really if I can get a loan with monthly payments the same or less over 2-3 years would be wonderful.


Any advice please advise

Rich J
