  • I think you need to ask yourself ONE question.

    Who do you think would lend £2-3k to someone who is unemployed?

    The answer is: No-one.

    Sorry to be so blunt, but that is the honest truth.

    Highly unlikely until you can prove you have an income that can sustain the repayments. Is it to pay for the holiday you mention in this https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/45158480#Comment_45158480 thread?

    Ha, as if you have enough time on your hands to snoop through old posts. No it's not to pay for a holiday.

    I will have a job by the time I need the loan for but I wouldn't have had it very long..

    So you want to borrow £2-3k in December, AND go to New York in December (but they're not connected), and you're unemployed and MIGHT start work in six weeks (at the beginning of December).

    Just who's leg are you trying to pull? If nothing else, if you start a job at beginning of December and go off to NY in December how are you going to get paid to help pay off the two loans you want. Firms don't give holiday pay to employees who've been with them for two weeks.

    TROLL...TROLL...TROLL or you have a very big imagination. Or your real name is Walter Mitty.

    What are you talking about? You clearly have no idea, do you? Just because I asked about a holiday MONTHS ago doesn't mean that i'm going does it?

    Instead of jumping to conclusions you might want to get your facts right. You're making yourself look silly.

    why dont you ease the suspense and let everyone know why you need so much money so urgently?

    I think its unlikely you will get a conventional loan without having proof of income, you could ask friends or family, but personally the kind of people that urgently need loans are the last people i would want to be lending to. Nothing personal, ive had loans in the past myself. But ive loaned money to friends and family in the past, and its thankless. Always gets paid back later than promised and nearly always results in the person getting into a cycle of asking to borrow money, so i try to avoid it now.

    I'm afraid it's you looking silly, Little Miss Sunshine, as can be seen by the hoards of people queueing up to give you advice ...not!

    We've all seen through you and your fanciful dreams. So dream on....

    Can't wait for the next thread: "I'm looking to buy a new Merc about £25k but I can't afford the deposit until next December. Do you know of a garage that will let me have one on approval for 12 months until I can afford to pay them?"

    Meh, whatever. You know nothing about me or how much money I earn. If i've already paid for my NY trip or where my new job is or who it's with.

    Why are you trying to put me down? I thought these boards where for people to help each other, not for bored people like yourself, to pick at others looking for help because they have nothing better to do...

    To be honest it's none of your business what I need it for.

    I just need it for a few weeks until I get paid really, then I can pay it back. I was wondering if there was anywhere I could get a loan having only been employed for a few weeks (if I apply for the loan just before I need it. ) Clearly people are more interested in trying to catch each other out on this forum :\
  • Perhaps if you revealed the reason for the loan people could be more specific with the advice??
