Looking for loan

Hi all:)

This is my first ever post so please be patient.:o

I'm a student who is unemployed but looking for work, and have a bad credit record thanks to all those bankers whacking up my interest rates at no notice!:mad:

I am looking for a special type of loan (around £2000) for personal but very important reasons. All the loan companies that service bad credit record holders keep telling me as I have no "fixed income" I cannot apply. I do have a fixed income - my mum is paying me back for a debt she incurred on my credit card (I lent her the money for a major structural house repair). She pays me £150 per month so this is a regular income, just not with an employer and I do not receive any form of state benefits. But I can prove this income through my monthly bank statements.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to find a loan meeting my above criteria?

I've finally done it - posted on my first forum!!:T

Thanks for any help.

Best regards

C
