Sorry to say but no one will give you a loan of £4000 earning only £300 month.0

no chance on 300, that would be 33% of your annual salary.0

I would say you probably wouldn't pass on affordability.Got Halifax Classic to reduce my interest rate by 5% woohoo - 10/06/08 Thanks MSE!
Another 3% shaved off 10/12/08

tom,
By law banks have to see whether a loan is affordable. £300 a month is not a big income. By the time you take off food, housing and other essentials you have nothing left to repay the loan.
Why do you need the £4000?
R.Smile, it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

What about if I was to ask to borrow £2000?
I only have to pay £40 a month for phone bill... food and rent is payed for0 -
Even just £2000, it is not the loan amount which is going to cause concern to a lender but your income. No responsible high street lender will provide a loan to someone who brings home £300 per month as income.0

I would pay it back over 5 years
which means I would pay like £80 a month0
