I need by £250 by 10th of May

MrMiagia

I'm well behind on a deposit and I need that amount by Thursday.

I don't really have anything of value to sell so is there anything I can do by Thursday to make the money?

Paypal is going to be hard to use now because of the time constraints but I'll have to see.

I'm not going any where near payday loans but will banks give loans to under 18s with a debit card or could I quickly arrange an overdraft agreement?

Southernman

Under 18s can't get credit such as overdrafts and loans. What's the deposit for? Can't you ask your parents?

You've got no chance of getting credit anywhere if you're under-18.

Ask the parents as suggested above.

McKneff

Anyone giving you anykind of Payday loan would be acting illegally too.

Ask your parents for a loan, usually interest free from parents.

What is the deposit for.

Can only echo what everyone else is saying; your only hope is your family, parents or older siblings etc, or maybe a temporary loan from a friend.

MrMiagia

The deposit is for a group holiday. I think everyone but me has the money but I'm not sure whether the travel agents can postpone the deadline for payment. If I have to pull out, it will cost the whole group more money.

If you can't even raise a deposit on a holiday, what makes you think things will turn around by the time you have to pay the balance??? And what about the cost of being on the holiday?

If it'll cost the others more, your easiest option would be to point this out to them and ask them to sub you.

Overall though, my opinion is it's better to let them down now and let them find somebody else to fill that slot.... else you'll end up having a bad holiday anyway as you let them down at a later stage or moan because you've not got enough spending money to go out with them etc etc.

Pull out now, save hard for next year.

It's the last installment of the payment. And I decided not to work during the school terms to focus on my studies. In a months time I will be done with school and will have around 2 1/2 months to save up for holiday money.

I can never understand anyone ever going into debt for holidays, its a slippery slope,especially at 17.

People keep saying to you ask your parents etc. but you are not responding to that.

How much more is it going to cost? If it is a significant jump for them it may be wise to trust you and have a friendly whiparound between them to give your share until you have the funds.
