Advise Needed

Hi all,
Firstly would just like to say i am unsure where to post this so have posted it in both the CC forum and the Loans forum so if it is unappropriate in here please let me know :)

The advice i need is a situation for my girlfriend.... Her mum lives abroad but still wants to help her financially with Car Insurance Holiday Expensive etc, her mum doesn't have a lump sum of cash to give so was saying to her to take a loan out for around £2000 and her mum will pay the re-payment's regardless of the interest occurred and the amount of time taken to repay. Her mum plans to get a settlement from a divorce in around 12 months and was planning on paying the full amount off then.

I haven't a-lot of knowledge in the area but have thought about the possibility of a Interest Free Period Credit Card in-stead of a conventional loan..

My Girlfriend Work around 25 hours a week and earns around £6500 Per Year
I was hoping to get some advise on which method may be:
A. the easiest for her to obtain
B. the option that is the best in terms of incurring the least interest etc

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
