Ratesetter smartqoute -a few questions please
A few questions before I commit please regrding my Ratesetter loan enquiry.
Just curious but was quoted 11% APR on a 2k loan over 24 months-is this any good?
How likely am I to be accepted based on this?
How long does the offer last at that quoted APR?
Cheers as usual

Have you tried your own bank ?0 -
Not yet be honest but just wanted to throw this out to get a feel for how good(or bad)this deal is:j0

I'd suggest its an ok rate, it's a small loan for a relatively short period, and whilst rates of 6% or so are quoted then these are likely to be for larger amounts over longer periods.
With a good credit rating then a 0% or low life of balance credit card could be a cheaper option if you have the discipline to pay it off.0 -
Following your suggestion I have also been offered a 0% card by my bank for 2 years.
The cash is required for the purchase of a used car and it would be through a private sale
Wondering if the loan would be best and cheapest bet as the CC would involve having to do a money transfer at big cost?
Thanks:j0 -
The rate might be high as its a small amount, maybe its the best you can get as ratesetter are a p2p lender so are strict who they lend to. Yes the loan seems best option but why would you need to do a balance transfer with the cc, surely just pay for the car like you would for goods in a shop.0

Quite right if i purchase through a dealer who can take cc payment
But the probability is that i will purchase privately so will need to be a cash deal:j0 -

If you gp have a card that you can trspansfer to your bank account, like mbna, then that could, be a good option. A fee of 4% over 2 years is pretty cheap credit by anyone's reckoning.0
