Does it take for money to be paid into your account after the loan application? I have just been on moneysupermarket for the best quote (which is virgin) and want to apply. I want to start looking for a car but don't want to start too soon if the money hasnt gone in.

Thanks in advance.

    From you signing the loan agreement and posting it, I'd say generally a week to two weeks.

    Depends on the company, if you are accepted and pay the chaps fee some will have it for you the next (or same) day. Why not phone them and ask?

    I tried but its bank holiday. I have never had a loan before so I wasn't too sure.

    It is an online quote. Do they still send out forms to fill in aswell?

    This is only a quote. They will need to send frms out for you to sign, make sure that the forms that you get read the same as the quote! They may ask for some ID, or they may have been able to ID you electronically (ie voters roll etc), but I wouldn't commit yoursef to anything till the £££ is securely in your bank!

    From the Virgin website...
    It's a doddle
    Apply online and we'll aim to give you a 'yes' the next working day. Or you can call us free on 0800 068 5688 and quote 'Virgin Internet’. We're here 8.30am – 9pm Monday to Thursday, 8.30am - 8pm Friday, and 9am – 6pm Saturday. We could give you the nod in 10–15 minutes.

    Once you've had the thumbs up, we'll send you a form to sign. We'll usually get the money to you within five working days, but if you need it quicker, no problem – just let us know and it could be in your bank account the day we get your form back.

    Usually its 3 or 4 working days after the paperwork has been agreed, unless you borrow from your own bank, in which case it can be done the same working day :)
