    It probably depends on how much debt you have in total that the banks can check. As you can see from my signature, i had 8k on LloydsTSB and got over 4k and 2.5k from other banks. Not sure about A&L but i am almost earning 1k a month. (Hoping new payrise will take me over that)

    Virgin are doing 15 months @ 0% so depending on what you need, may be worth looking at.

    The spam comment was someone giving their email address asking you to contact them - about a very reasonable loan...
    CopperPlate was quick to respond, but my first 2 words of reply would have been slightly different ;)
    After falling off the gambling wagon (twice): £33,600 (24,000+ 9,600) - Original CC Debt: £7,885.91

    Dad Gift 6k ¦ Savings & Inv Tst: £2,500
    Loan 10k: £0 ¦ Dad 5.5k: £2,270 ¦ LTSB: £0 ¦ RBS: £0 ¦ Virgin £0 ¦ Egg £0

    Total Owed: £2,270 (+6k) 11/08/2011
  • thanks for that, i'm not stupid enough to follow an email or anything dodgy looking even if this forum is super lovely generally.

    my debts have gone down consierdably in the last year. down from £8k to around £5.5K
