Will anyone give me a loan?!

Basically, I will try to keep this short, I need a loan for £3000, ideally the sooner the better! I was out of work for two months before starting my current job after I graduated, so cash was extremely tight for a while. Thankfully my boyfriend and parents helped me out alot. The problem is, the situation has now changed for us all and they all need their money asap. My boyfriend has now finished what little savings he had, so will rely on the money I pay him back for his share of the bills etc, and my parents need their money back as mum was taken ill abroad and they now face possible hefty medical bills, along with the cost of loss of wages due to still being in Italy!

My credit is pretty crap due to being a student for the last 4 years and my bank of over 20 years (HSBC) being totally crap and screwing me over in every possible way. I've also recently had my bank account fiddled and £100 stolen, and was told by HSBC today that I will be charged £50 for going over my overdraft limit due to this money being stolen... So some of the moeny will pay off my overdraft with them so I can get shot of them. I've also paid around £550 in charges to HSBC since last October, which is another reason to leave...

Anyway, does anyone know a good, vaguely trustworthy (difficult in the world of banking I know) place that is likely to approve me for this small loan? I'm not even worried about the interest rate, I just need to pay this cash back and get shot of HSBC asap before they continue to screw me over! Any idea's would be much appreciated. And by the way, since graduating, I now have a basic wage of 26k a year which should be increasing in June when my probation is up.

Thanks, Nikki
