stupid loan- need help

Hi guys,
A few months ago I took out a loan with Paydayuk (I know i know!!)
Total amount to be paid back is £425. now i have defered it this month and really want to get rid of it next month.
I have a default on my credit file from 2006 for capital one- its satisfied now- nothing much else on there of any great issue.
What i would like to ask does anyone know of anyone who would lend me this money to pay back to payday and then pay off the loan within 3 months as i cant do this with payday they want all or nothing.
cant ask family, no partner just lil ole me but really wanna get rid of it!
Any help or advice apprediated

  • Rarely do consolidation loans work. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is not a good idea.

    Go to https://www.makesenseofcards.com/soacalc.html and fill out a soa. With some good advice we can help you juggle your finances to be able to pay off the payday loan and never need another one.

    BUT you have to really commit.

    Contact you local credit union. They may help you with a "freedom loan. At 26% APr it is not the cheapest option but a lot less expensive than the payday loan.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
