Are you being serious?
What are you going to use the money for?
I take it from the fact that you lied about it being for moving house, that it's nowhere near as important as needing it for moving house. Is that correct?
Do you realise that crisis loans scheme only has a set amount to lend each year?
Good work, now there's a chance that someone who needs it to put a deposit on a flat to keep a roof over there kids' heads, won't be able to get one.
Also, you've also commited fraud, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
You then came and bragged about it to people on an internet forum, like commiting fraud is an achievement and you obtaining funds by diception is a laugh.
One last thing, who are the !!!!!!!s you're trying to screw?
All I can see is you screwing people that genuinely need a crisis loan.From £8,800 to £2,200 in 2 years.
Nearly there, just the 0% credit card to go!0 -

Small additional point, why exactly do you need £1100 to go to a wedding in Cyprus? Package deals are available that are cheaper than that, you don't need a huge gift, and frankly, you aren't really getting in control of your money if you think borrowing over £1k for a single event is a good idea. I'm sorry, but with a kid on the way, you need to think about the reality of that. You intend to pay for that wedding for about 30 months? Really? Scrap the wedding, you have the excuse of baby expenses.
Perhaps you should do a statement of affairs and look at where your money is going. You can't continue this way, and the idea of 'one easy payment' is a trap most of us have fallen into (personally, I consolidated twice, so don't think this is from a position of meanness).
Talk to your own bank first. Going to a dodgy lender is what got you in this position. Find out the maximum you could get on an overdraft, and let the payday loans be paid from it. Live in it for a month or two, but massively tighten your belt and reduce it each month. Sell old stuff on EBay, at car boot sales, or wherever to raise cash, do overtime, take a second job in a bar or supermarket for one or two shifts a week, and it will clear.
I'm sorry to be harsh, but you need to grow up. Taking out a loan for a holiday is ridiculous. Until you figure out what is important enough to save for, you are going to spiral into more debt. I did it. Took me ten years to get completely clear.
Good luck.Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....
