If the loan allows you to pay back early without onerous charges and you would pay the £5000 back straight away than that could make sense. If you spend or save the £5000 because you can and only pay back the stated monthly amount then it does not make sense to get a loan for 3 times the amount you need just to get a lower APR.loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.0
