    Guys to help everyone in a similar situation. There is one I found.
    But they charge Huge interest, but atleast you have someone.

    Amigo Loans - search.

    Acceptance Criteria
    You need:
    You don't need to have a good credit history
    You will need to find a guarantor who is a homeowner
    You don't have to have been a resident of the UK for a specified length of time
    You must be 18 years of age or older to apply
    You don't need to have direct debit facilities

    But you do need to find somone to be your guarantor who will need to take the brunt of it if you happen to stop payments for whatever reason.

    Strikes me as a little like finding someone you know who you don't like and are happy to rip off to lend you the money.:p

    Ooh, harsh.
    Are you suggesting the OP might not repay the money?

    So do you know someone who is stupid enough to risk their good credit history by guaranteeing a loan for you?

    Or was the whole point of this thread just so that you could come back after finding amigo loans and recommend them?

    Correct me if I am wrong. Only when I mess up on my payments someone who guarantees me will have an adverse affect on their history right?

    Excellent find.

    If you can't find a guarantor, let me know and I will step in as I hate seeing someone stuck for a loan.

    Surely you mean " Only IF I mess up on my payments"
    When implies that you will...
