I just posted over on Debt Free Wannabe. I wondered if anyone here can help.

I owe a family member just under £4000. She needs it back asap and is expecting it any day now. Is there any possible way i can get a loan or something similar, with a bad credit rating?

    Probably not. How bad is 'bad? Do you have CCJ's or defaults?
    :p

    Just a thought.

    There are probably payday loan type places local to you. They will charge HUGE interest rates which will saddle you with even larger debts.. Good luck..

    I dont have CCJ or anything, but i have missed payments. I know it cant be good.

    I realise that it will probably screw me up further in the long run, i understand how it works. But it doesnt change the fact that i am desperate right now and need something.

    Does anyone know where i can apply to?
