please advise on urgent loan

I have a bank overdraft of £750, which santander charge £20 a month for. I need to loan £400 urgently for a family member, not for spending. but my bank will not increase the overdraft. I am a discharged bankrupt (Oct 2009). Please has anyone any ideas on what path I can take, but obviously the cheapest way if at all possible?:o :money:

  • NEVER lend money to family or friends and never ever borrow money for them
  • Tell them to take the loan themselves. You're in enough of your own trouble.
