    haha pull the other one, this is not comparable, firstly said loan company is no friend, also I doubt friend will expect astronomical interest, and report you to the credit reference agency aswell as issue you with a default:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The maths is still the same

    ...and we all wait with baited breath to hear usedandabused's suggested alternatives to borrowing from loan comapnies on a purely short term basis, or alternatively how said loan companies can make a viable business by charging lower interest rates. Go on fella, give us the benefit of your wisdom ;)

    Don't pay your mate back. If you look into it, lending from one friend to another is actually unenforcable.

    Excellent idea! I reckon I can make £120 over the next few weeks like that. I won't have any friends left but the law will be on my side.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    My point was that the APR quoted for a small short-term loan is not comparable with the APR for a larger longer term loan, whether the loan is made by a friend or a company is irrelevant.

    what if you can't repay it within the month?
    :eek:

    You shouldn't have borrowed the money if you do not have the means to pay it back.

    I'm scared to respond frankly, after I got accused of elitism and fascism last time. I'll probably be cast into the tower of london if I even come close to repeating the reply I gave last time.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything
