I owe family member money and I am looking for a loan of about €15000.

I am currently earning €30k. Would it be possible to get a loan of this amount.

  • We'd need more info (i.e. current debt levels etc.) to assist with a better educated guess, but that's all it would still be, as it depends upon the lender.

    The logical place to try first would be with your own bank. If you were rejected there, you might choose to consider a later application for less, and perhaps pay the remainder over X months out of your disposable income.

  • ok heres a plan,will they accept repayments of £1000 a month?if so use the 20k savings to make these payments for 20 months while you save up to make say another 12 payments,then all you need to borrow is £8k
