    I know that this is a money matter but there is a deep reason why?

    Headline rate? was never expecting it but getting the loan I do.

    I have made so many promises to my wife and all I have given her is broken dreams. I just want to be true to my word. I think that my credit history shows enough of that for my bank to give me a chance.

    I know I am ask a question that only my bank can answer but with the experience which is on the forum. those with better know than me might say that I have a chance of getting the loan.

    No matter what. I will give it a try. what I havelearned is that I better make it soon because plan B may be required.

    I got my loan at 15.9% 3years at £277. not too worried because I will do overpayments :j
  • So it's true, the economy really has 'recovered'. We can all rest easy, knowing there's no possibility the irresponsible-lending, debt-fuelled boom will turn into bust again.

    I'm sorry but these days banks don't work on giving people a chance. They only deal on what they can see are solid grounds for giving people a loan.

    Even those with solid financial backgrounds are being turned down for loans.

    Credit history is only part of what makes an application. my total details of my application was good enough and it is about banks making money after all. I knew that I would get it and I have. Bank gets it's money back with the interest. ( less than they expected because I will do overpayments ). I got themoney that I wanted when I wanted it. I accepted the agreement. WIN/WIN.

    One last thing. I did not just think a few weeks ago that I wanted a loan. I planned it more than 6 months ago. Guess what? when they checked the last 6 months of transactions. The hard work showed. 6 hard months. do thank this site for getting me into gear. I wish everyone and that everyone achieves their goals.
