                    I have applied for a loan and have been turned down. I always pay my credit card and have very little debt.
The only thing I can think of is maybe the amount of times I have moved jobs and home in the past 2 years - does this make a big difference?
I am just hitting a brick wall right now - having done all my calculations I know this loan would make things so much easier and more managable for me, yet no one will help me! It frustrates me that I can obviously afford it (I quote the bank!) yet I STILL can't get a loan.
Can I write to financial ombundsman and explain about moving homes and jobs? Will this help me at all?
Thanks

            Writing to the Ombudsman would be a waste of your time. The banks can decide to decline business if they wish.
Thing is they may be doing you a favour in the long run......0 - 
            IF you clear your CC and have very little debt... How is a loan going to make things more manageable??
You will be saddled with paying even more out each month and returning much more money than you borrow0
