  • I have had a few loans from British Gas. They also gave me my very first loan with no credit history.

  • If anyone knows a company that you would recommend i would be greatful.

    Thanks
  • Being a council tenant should have no bearing on your creditworthiness.
    Have you asked your bank?

    depending 0n what you call small could you not get a credit card with 0% on purchases for 12 months ?
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    after emailing her twice and only giving a name this is what i got from her....

    "I would really like you to know that you are in the vry right place and secondly you won't have any regret taking this loan from me, I would like you to also know that i have been in the International Lending business for the past 14years with Business lending licence number:#638.BC.

    According to Sub-Section 124 of the International Lending code, Page 1B,Vol:47-52, It's fully states that,The approval charges must be made by the Borrower as guranatee and assurance that the loan will be paid back when due and only the Insurance and Tax fee muts be pad by the Lender for the processing of the loan papers.

    During lunch time today, I will kindly get intouch with the insurance company to make the payment of £370 of your insurance and tax charges to get your loan papers processed and insured but not yet approved due to the fact that you are yetto make the Approval charges to the Head-Quarters in London.

    You are only expected to make the payment of £250 via western union as soon as possible for the approval charges so that when i get back from the insurance company with your insurance certificate and tax receipt, your loan will be approval immediately by the LOAN APPROVAL HEAD-QUARTERS and funds wired to your norminated local bank account in 14hours time as signed in your premissory note.

    As policy demand, A need a vaild I.D card from you fro proper verification.

    Have a great day
    Regards and God Bless
    Mrs Anita Bill."

    lol whats so funny about this is that how obvious this is lol, i havnt even given my address for godsake or how old i am yet shes already sorting this 'loan' out for me, my advice is steer clear as this is an obvious scam and not a very good one at that.
