where can i get £1000 asap

Options
I need £1000 asap and dont know where to go. I have the worlds worst credit score and cant get anything from the bank. I already have cc's with captal one,vanquis and aqua and cant get any limits increased.
I also cant ask friends or family so I am well stuck.
Any suggestions would be great.

    What do you need the money for?

    For pitys sake listen to yourself. It's a desperate measure to post such a question. We can only hope your lightbulb moment isn't too far away. Stop spending money. Stop borrowing money. Visit the DFW forum and get your finances in order.

    I think you have answered your own question. You say you have the worlds worst credit score and you have maxed out your cards. So your not asking for a loan your asking for free money as your not going to pay it back as things stand. And who is going to give you free money.

    Sort out your debts
  • Sorry that we are all being so judgemental today but unless this is for a life saving operation then you really shouldn't be spending any more money as you seem to have stretched your borrowing too far already (Oh God I sound like my mother!)

    My suspicion is that you need this money to pay off some of the other debt? If I am right then you need to think VERY carefully about going in to more debt just to service existing debts...

    If the money is for a life saving operation then apologies...

    If the money is for a life saving operation, then call 999.

    If the money is for anything else, then the only way I can see you getting it is to earn it by:

    1. selling stuff
    2. working

    In the meantime, take yourself over the Debt Free Wanabee boards and take a look at how to put a stop to this terrible situation going forward into 2007.
