    Why can't the BF get a loan in his name?

    Because the banks declined him due to his credit history/circumstances.

    I see, the friend in the other thread and the boyfriend are one in the same then.

    What does your BF need £5,000 for?

    Write your guesses here.
    I can afford anything that I want.

    There is a reason why he cant get a loan, and that is that he wont repay it.

    Harsh, but likely.

    The reason he needs the money is irrelevant though.

    The reason I asked what the £5,000 was for was to see if either what he wanted to do with the money could be done cheaper i.e. if it's to furnish a new home then he could get stuff from Freecycle, or if there are other routes of financing what he needs £5,000 for.

    I think you should take the loan on your behalf only, as he has no credits in his account.

    Looking at some of Jackie132's other posts I think this could be a spammer in it for the long haul!!
