Hi all

I am looking to get a loan of £2000 to pay off over 12 months, the best rate I can seem to find is with the Post Office with a total repayable £2144.

This seems great! Just wondered if anyone knew of anything better anywhere please? (You can never save enough! ;))

    how about a 0% credit card ? There are few with 0% for 12 months available at the moment.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    A 0% card sounds like a good option, I have been eyeing up the Santander 15 months 0% one but you can only apply by telephone 9am-5pm during the week and I am always at work, I have never gotten an opportunity to try yet sadly.

    Jenni I am trying to do it to pay off my Halifax Overdraft! :p

    I am a bit worried on which option to go for the credit card, if I don't get accepted.. Will my score go down.. if I also apply for a loan at the same time or close together will that effect their decision?:confused:
