You have to tell the truth on any loan application.
If they ask whether you are working full time - you can truthfully say yes - if they ask whether you are on a permanent contract you have to say no.
Personally I think you will struggle with a mainstream lender.0 -
Think car craft will be about the only one, as above mainstream wont see you as stable. the agency can sack you tommorow.0

Hi. I was in a situation similar to you a couple of years ago. I was working through an agency at an Argos warehouse and applied for a loan through Alliance and Leicester for £4000. They asked if it was a permanent post and I said no, but similar to you, I told them people had been there years.
I was granted the loan at a really good rate and was going fine until 6 months later, when I was laid off.
I was unemployed for a further 6 months and really struggled to meet the payments. I paid it off fully in the end but looking back, I wish I'd borrowed less, while not in a permanent job.
Just get a cheap run around while in the situation!0
