Unemployed Loans

I'm trying to get unemployed loans for £900. Can someone tell me a good place to get it.

I tired online and ended up with spam.

    How are going to pay a loan back if you are unemployed?
    Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

    Hi. I am not sure what you mean. Are you unemployed?

    What do you need the loan for? The government do help unemployed people with interest free loans but there are "rules" about getting these.

    Can you write back with more information and you will get some good advice.

    Yep.

    As Apples says.

    Put in 40 hours a week and you should get more than £900.

    Even better, you can keep it! No paying it back with interest.

    job centres do crisis loans, its repaid through deductions to your JSA.

    i always found a job to be a much better option than a loan, you would regularly recieve the 900 quid payment, and dont have to pay back a penny - not ever

    You will struggle to get a loan from a commerical lender while you are unemployed but you may be eligible for a Crisis Loan to cover something like a deposit for a flat or new furniture if yours has been destroyed

    Problem is that if you are unemployed, it is likely to be no more than a tenner a week max you could repay, so adding interest, allowing for a few late payments around Christmas, etc., you would still be paying it back maybe 3 years later, and likely have paid back double what you borrowed (or more, very easily more). This means lenders see you as very risky, so they will ramp up the interest rate - more or less to the point where you will pay a tenner a week forever, just about servicing the interest!
