Hi guys/girls
Ive had a quick read through the forum and now ready to ask a few questions.
Im in need of a loan - to clear off my other loans/credit cards - to have a fresh start.
I have bad credit - needless to say I need around 10k to clear off everything.
Ive taken a look at a few companys and need your advice if you have had any dealings with them.
I work part time (with over time) with Hampshire council, im 26 and have a child of 5.
I refuse to pay an upfront fee (Yes loans Ive read on here is bad I see?)
I have -
Easy Money Lender
Loan 'N' Go
Ive had a loan from my bank last year, and Ive managed to pay that off all ok - how ever I keep getting refused for a larger one.
Am desprated to start all over and get everything paid off - so I have one monthly out going.,
Most of my debts are with Payplan now but I want to get rid of them all.
With Payplan - because I joined them back in 2005 - after a year I come off the 'plan' as I was able to afford the normal repayments - then lost my job within a year - I have since gone back onto Payplan but the banks are refusing to freeze interest.
Any ideas/help which bad credit loans I could look into???
Many thanks for your replys.

Hi Louise, welcome to the forum - YES loans are def a no go - I went with them before LBM and they are a bunch of cowboys, said I could have a 12,000 loan took set up fee off me and then couldnt get hold of them again - managed to get my set up fee back eventually. If only i knew then what i know now eh?
Also are you sure you need to get another loan, have you posted SOA to see if anyone can help you xxx:j6 debts cleared since joining MSE:j:eek: Remaining debts...

Hi SOA ?? Sorry am new to all the forum short talk and have no idea lol
Thanks for your advice on the Loan n Go tho!0 -
To be honest, if you are with payplan you shouldn't be trying to get more credit. I know it can be difficult dealing with multiple creditors but that would be better than getting even deeper in debt.Ebay challenge 2010 - £525

Sorry! SOA is 'statement of affairs' and you can find it here...

if you fill it in as honestly as you can and post it up people will comment on it. I know it seems like a good idea to consolidate all loans into one however general impression I get from the site is that it can put you in a worse position - i have several creditors (see my signature) however since joining the site have been able to manage them effectively - hope this helps xx:j6 debts cleared since joining MSE:j:eek: Remaining debts...
