    I have always used 247 money box and wage day advance, both have always been good.

    As long as you do pay it back Thursday....which im sure you will.

    I assume you already have the cheque or will get it Monday (today)? If that's the case, why not take the cheque to Cash Convertors (or similar). Think they do cheque cashing and will give you the cash straight away. Think fee is around 10% though but if you're desperate then needs must.

    Right correct me if I'm wrong please.

    You're 22 ? and in more than 7K of debit .

    Reading your posts makes me sad becuase you are so desperate for this money

    If you are being threatened in anyway by a loan shark call the police .

    If not can I ask why you have to have it by tomorrow ?

    I have a son your age so come on fess up , because I promise you whatever it is , It can be sorted without borrowing :)

    All through this site and the advice I read for others.

    Cheque clears Thursday. Paid it in on Friday.

    Thanks for concern however :-)

    Oh and what I'm desperate for is because I am supposed to be going away for a couple of days.

    I just know this is the 'easiest' way of doing it....even if it does end up costing me £20!

    Have you tried the 3 PDL companies mentioned above? All would charge you about £20-25 if you paid the loan back on Thursday.

    Obviously depends on where you live but rather than any of the payday lot consider these if in an area they cover http://www.myhomefinance.org.uk/ social enterprise lender.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    I don't mean this to sound patronising, and it is being said with the best intentions, but.......a trip away should have been budgeted for in advance. If it wasn't, then please take another look at your finances in order to prepare for these things in future, otherwise I fear you will be right back at square one soon enough.

    If it was a last minute trip, why do you HAVE to go away? Again, taking a look at your budget would be good here as you could budget in an emergency fund to cover last minute/unexpected bills like this.

    Like I said, don't want that to sound patronising (but aware it probably does anyway). I just want you to stay on track so you can reach your goal of being debt free asap.
