Hi Can someone please help me. I have only just started a new job (2weeks)in to it after being unemployed for 3months. I have run out of money and i am not getting my first pay check until the 28th Jan 2010. I need money to get me to and from work and pay of a loan and credit card repayment charges. I am well into my overdraft and in trouble.

My credit rating is poor and i owe a total of some where around £18000, does anyone know where I can get a quick £1000 loan to cover me until payday asap please?

Thanks
Matt

    I doubt you will get £1000 but you need to google "unclebucks" "quickquid" or "paydayuk".

    Last resort though. Also pay back on time the whole balance.
  • Ouch! I feel SO sorry for you. Can you not ask your employer to possibly give you an early payment (Not £1,000 - but say £500)? They might be able to help out if they know the situation...

    I think if you have run up £18,000 in debt as a result of being unemployed for 3 months, then a £1000 loan is not going to help much in the long run.
  • Steer clear of payday loans and the like you will regret it later, I think wildwayz had the right idea. Ask your boss, you`ll never know till you ask!. Good luck.
