    It's a con. The banks only want to wring as much money out of you as they can.

    Agree with the others! Have a look at the amount of money it is in interest! One of mine with Northern rock is £8000!! Could have brought myself a brand new car for that. Never again! Would be interested to know (not cos I want to!!) what the total interest repayment is on that. Does it say in teensy weensy font somewhere?!! As stated taking the loan would undoubtebly be in breach of your agreement with CCCS & I think they have the right to cancel agreement with you if you do it. DONT DO IT!! Stick with us instead! Some of us will be around until we collect our pensions!!
