Loans for under 21, no credit rating

I am 19 years old in full time employment with a salary of £14,450. I have wanted a second hand car now for a while as my car has been broken into and is going to cost me at the MOT. I know you will probably say save but I don’t want to get just another Bangor, I want to get on the ladder of getting a new car every so often. I do not want a brand new car as you loose to much and the car I want is around £3500, I feel I am in work now full time at university part time and want a nicer car as I need one for work.

I have been declined now for about 4 loans and I just cant find one that will help, my bank said they would give me one if I held a current account for 6 months but they never upgraded my account and so I have held my account for 2 months and I have had no interest since I was 18. They have said that I could apply as lots of people get accepted but now they have declined me and I don’t know what to do, I really need a car by July 2007 as this is when my car fails.

I have had two lots of car insurance on credit and I have never missed a payment, orange phone bill which I have never missed, a laptop which I paid up in full and never made a late payment which I purposely got on credit to make it better but now nobody will touch me as I am not 21.

I live with my mum in a council property and my mum is not employed as she is ill, my dad being self employed and doesn't have a regular income, plus I don't live with him.

I can easily afford up to £130 but I only want the car loan for 3 years. This is really getting me down as I could loose my job without a car and I want something reliable. As I get my university paid for I can't get a company car!

Is there any unsecured loan for people with no credit and under 21?

Please help :mad: :confused:

    The immediate thing that Im thinking is do you have a student loan?

    If not, that would be my loan of choice, you can pay back whenever and youll have a v low APR.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
