Could someone direct me to a company that does a cash advance for someone on benefits for a period of two weeks, they know the risks but in dire need to pay for their car.

Many thanks

    Frankly, I can't see you finding anyone. 'Just benefits' are not enough to be able to repay the loan when it is due as a rule, so no reputable, or even borderline lender will want to get involved. There may be a dodgy geezer down the pub, but frankly that may be the only option if friends, family are unable to make the bridging loan.

    Surely it can wait, it isn't as if they need it for work.
