Hey guys, just used the repayment calculator on Martins sitefor the amount i need to borrow the results came up great.
Boroowing £9500 over 3 yrs at an interest rate of 5.9% was repaying £157 per month. I cant seem to find anyone who will do that. Any ideas????????

If you look at Martin's tab on loans here: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/loans/cheap-personal-loans
You can see that Sainbury's offer 5.9% representative for £9.5k over 3 years. Here: http://www.sainsburysbank.co.uk/borrowing/micro/bor_loans_msm2_apply_alt.shtml
Although your sums do not add up as 3 years repayment at £157 a month is only £5.6k, so not even covering the capital let alone the interest. No idea where you got the idea that the repayment would be so low. Your repayment would be closer to £300 pm.Thinking critically since 1996....0 -
Plus your not very likely to get that advertised apr though, could well go up.0

Just done the sum on said calculator and that would,if offered,take you 72 months to pay off.
The good news is that came out at £156 and not £157 - Enjoy.Space available for rent0 -
Plus you have to be Alan Sugar, Ted Turner or Bill gates to get those rates.
In all honesty, you're more likely to be offered something like 14.9%"We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!"0 -
