    My point is that I know my financial past isn't good reading and believe me,it puts me in seriously bad form everytime I think of it,but I'm trying to change for the better and prove to myself and others that I can get back on my feet again,just need one break and bèlieve something as little (compared to a lot on here) as £1000 will do that and put me on a level playing field again. Some people are good with money,some arent,including me in the past,however I know I can change that fact. And yes,a loan of this amount is the only way I see this happening.
    People come on here for help,not to be ridiculed and have the dagger twisted more than they have already do e to themselves!

    Borrowing more money is not going to "put you on your feet", it is going to add to your debt.

    The only way to get back on your feet is to pay off what you owe, through a mixture of earning more and spending less.

    Can I check, was this loan that you were asking for all to payback debts, or had you rounded it up a bit, to leave you a bit over, for a treat, or just some cash in your pocket?

    No-one is going to lend you money, as they know that you won't pay it back. You aren't even paying back your family, so please, stop trying to borrow, and approach this the right way.
