Payday Loan (£50)

Nobody.
Don't get one.
Do without whatever it is you want to spend £50 on.0 -
I really wouldn't do it.
Could you realistically repay it next month?
Whats it for? is it to pay off one of your existing debts? If it is then it won't work out cheaper.
If its not then I'd simply try missing this months payments to your creditors as they are already all in arrears and using that money for whatever you need this for (you could send them the template letter to say you are seeking advice on your debts, which gives you a month breathing space).A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
The Bank of mum & dad,
The Bank of selling stuff on Ebay,
The Bank of going without.
Anything to avoid taking out a rip-off loan if you ask me.0 -
Its a slippery slope...........
easy to get on, very very difficult to get offmake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
Thank you everyone for the feedback - i'm going to give it a miss. It is to pay for a few bills due in next week.
Going to list some things for sale on ebay and facebook which will fingers crossed help. Wish me luck!0 -
That's great....a much better solution so good luck!!"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

Unbelievable!
A sensible outcome!!!!0 -
I hope you get it sorted and sell enough things.
Depending on what the bills are you might also be able to agree to pay a small amount this month and the remainder next month to help you through? a lot of things like utilities etc will usually be ok if you need to do that as a 1 off.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
That's a good idea Tixy as I do have Gas, Electric and Water due over the next 2 weeks too. I'll see how I go over the weekend then make a few calls. Thank you
