    Borrow from several payday lenders at once, don't worry about the fees and interest......it's Christmas.

    Hi, I stupidly took a high interest loan a year ago and am still struggling to pay it back. :cry:

    Christmas 2012 is coming and I need £2000 to sort out the old loan and buy everyone presents for this year ............:xmassign:

    Should I contact BobCratchettLoans.com?

    Why the hell would you want to spend £1000 on Christmas. Absolute madness, even for someone who didn't need to borrow the money.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Hatchet Harry can lend you enough to make sure you have a top Xmas, but by new year you will be drowning in debt, literally!!!
  • Sorry but you've no chance of getting a loan from anyone except Hatchet Harry or Sam the Shark.

    And please don't think one of the Loan Brokers (Yes Loans, etc) can help you. They'll only leave you £50-£70 worse off.

    Follow the advice on here. Make £200 your maximum Christmas spend - for that you can have an enjoyable Christmas without having to pay for it over the next two years.

    I think there's just not enough of 'bad credit loan' threads and would welcome more to add to the hundreds of existing ones.
