Help With Loans For A Rented Deposit

Hello

I`m wondering if anyone could help me with my problem .

I need to move to a new property , and the new flat council does not have a rent deposit scheme or anything like that.

iv spoken to the credit union they are unable to help me as i have to save with them for 13 weeks and are only able to give me £200 .

Im moving out within 10 working days .

Iv put down the holding deposit for the new place,

But im finding it very hard to find this money for the deposit , cant get off friends or family anything like that iv been ringing around everywhere , and im hitting a brick wall .

So any ideas which have not already been said would be handy


I was thinking about trying for a small loan but im unemployed because of my brain damages , So its not a good catch for the loan area!

Thanks

Steven Elliott

    If you are on DLA due to your disability, you could try contacting the council for a crisis loan, or contact a charity for support. Some offer funds for such purposes.

    Good luck
