Urgently need cash :(

Options
Hi all,

Does anyone know of anywhere that lends £10 - £20? I have tried wonga but they cannot validate my card.

I have had an unexpected bill taken from my account today - leaving me completely skint till Friday. If anyone can suggest another company that can payout instantly as I really need the cash by early morning.

Thanks for your help in advance

    What do you need £10 for so badly? Can you not ask a friend / family member / work mate?

    Failing that do you have something you can sell or pawn?

    Stay away from PDL's. They'll have a negative effect on your credit rating and are often the start of a slippery slope.
  • I need it so badly to get to my work the next 3 days. And if I had someone to ask then I wouldn't be on here asking for advice lol

    Thanks anyway

    Please start sticking a few quid in a savings account each payday.

    Build that amount up.

    Then unexpected crisis becomes a minor irritation.

    Good luck.
