    Can't help on lenders but when you do take something out set up a Direct Debit for the minimum payment - then it doesn't matter if it's forgotten - and you can always overpay extra if you want to.

    Can only agree with Catt.You need some way of remembering to pay.
    This will be reflected in the info held on you by the credit ref agency's and will impact on your ability to get further credit.

  • Hi

    You'll probably find more help here as that section of the forum is specifically related to loans.

    Unfortunately for you everyone here on DFW is trying to get rid of their loans. Actually...maybe you are right then....this forum must be full of experts on loans!

    Good luck with your search by the way and DON'T pay an exhorbitant interest rate for any loan you take.
