Advise need on loan interest

I took out a loan with my bank after they suggested I consolidate my debts 17 months ago. The APR on the loan is 21.1%. I am a contractor and am about to be laid off from my job and will find it difficult to make the repayments. Is it possible to negotiate with my bank for a lower interest rate or do I need to get a loan from somewhere else which offer better interest rates?

I suspect you will struggle to get a loan elsewhere if you are being made redundant, you would have to declare this on a loan application.Cosmicchick wrote: »I took out a loan with my bank after they suggested I consolidate my debts 17 months ago.
