Loan Help!!!
Hi,
Newbie here, I've been searching but actually not sure what to type into the search bit.
Basically I have no credit history at all and would like to take out a loan, how do I go about doing this? I applied at flm but they said my garantor was not a home owner - maybe they dont class shared ownership as a home owner?
please can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I would say if you have no credit history at all then you are very unlikley to be offered a loan. Also you need to give us some more idea of how much you are looking to borrow to get good advise. I would say you need to get some credit history first by taking a credit builder credit card which you pay off every month in full; then when you've had this for a while you may be offered credit
