I need £2500 credit card or loan?

Hi, I need some help please.
I want to get my hands on £2500 fairly quickly for cosmetic surgery. They do not currently offer credit facilities.
I have never had any type of loan or any credit before and i'm baffled by it all.
Is it best to get a loan for the amount, or apply for a credit card?
The best loans I could find either require you to be an existing customer or over 26. (I'm 22)
I currently have accounts with HSBC and Barclays
Cheers.

    Not at that price !

    A really decent rack would be £5k plus :eek:
  • go into your banks and see if they will help you,i think they will be the best bet as you have accounts with them,and trying to get that £2500 with no credit history might be quite difficult at a good apr.

    Perhaps an eyebrow lift, nose re-shaping?

    Anyway.. how do we know the OP is female? They may be wanting a penis enlargement. :eek:

    Wonder what the rush is?
  • Thanks for all your (not so helpfull) replies.
    Yes you are all nosey....its for breast enlargement but I dont need the full amount as I already have savings that I am using.
    The rush is that they have a late space available with the surgeon I want, therefore reducing the price but the money needs to be paid before hand.

    Some helpfull advice on how to get £2500 would be much appriciated.
    Thanks

    :beer:

    Try Virgin / MBNA as you can do a money transfer from that card into your current account and pay cash.

    Now can we ask how big you're going?
