    hi, im still wondering whether to accept this loan.The other thing i was thinking of was getting a further advance on my motgage which would be chaeper.What do you think
    This is not a good idea; anything 'added' to your mortgage is a secured loan.
    If you really do have a good crecit rating then you may be better off getting a 0% credit card or low life of balance card to transfer some or all of the debt to.
    What are your current debts and APR's?

  • Seems a reasonable rate for the amount. However no one on here can tell you what to do.
