    Erm, not really.

    A simple credit check can show how much debt you currently have - and unless you lie on your loan application you most likely need to be earning over £50000 + amount of all debt to be given a 25k loan.

    I know that, I was making a point. ;)

    maybe now but in the past i have seen a person with 16 credit cards, whoever have then the 16th one was probably thinking they have a nice credit rating rather than how much do they owe on the other 15
