Can I apply for a standard loan...

...even though I've already taken one out.

I was eligible for £2266, but took out £600. However, as I've blown that on gambling, I need a new bank! If I request another, will they accept or decline, saying I already took one out.

Also, I'd appreciate it if someone could tell the interest on these loans. I hope it's nothing shocking like for example, I take out £1000 now, and in 3 years time, the interest is more than the initial loan!


Help appreciated my lovelys :j

  • Is it to help fund your loss chasing?
    I wont lecture you, but yeh... dumb.

    Rates are low, only slightly above base. Check student loan website.
    If you take money and put it into a 5-6% savings account, you'll earn a profit.
    The longer you save the money (and slower you repay the loan), the more profit you make (assuming you spend none).
