Northern Rock?

Does anyone have any opinions/information on this company please. In the thread "debtmatters" I mention my friend's debt and most of it is a consolidation loan with this company at 5.9% I just wondered if this is a good rate. He says he won't find a lower one.

Would be glad of any replies, thanks.

  • I'm not sure about the rate (sounds pretty good to me, but i'm no expert!), but we have our mortgage with NR and we've never had any problems. A pretty good company from my personal experience.

    Hope that helps :)
    Why is there always so much month left at the end of my money? :doh:

    Thanks for reply LMBroke, he's convinced he won't find a lower rate. We went through his spending in depth last night and it was a bit of a shock to him.


    We filled the details in the categories for Payplan and it worked out that he had a surplus.

    Then we filled in Martin's budget planner and shock horror he was about £200 odd a week out.:eek:

    It is amazing how the little things add up.
