Short Term Loan Required!

Hi everyone.

I'm hoping someone can give me some good advice!

Last July, I took out a three year lease on a car. However, I have recently decided that I want to terminate the lease and replace the car with something else. I've been in touch with the leasing company, who have informed me that I will have to pay a settlement fee of £14.5k to terminate the lease and then the car will be mine to do what I want with. I am quite happy with the settlement fee as the car is worth slightly more than that. The only problem is that I obviously can't sell the car first to pay off the lease because it still belongs to the leasing company!

So what I basically require is a loan of £14.5k to pay off the leasing company which I can then pay off as soon as I've sold the car. Hopefully it won't take me very long to sell the car!

Any suggestions??

Thanks.
