Can someone advise me on an unsecured loan please!

My head is totally bursting today trying to find a decent loans company that isn't going to charge me an upfront fee and then give me nothing or pretty much nothing back. I am looking for an unsecured loan for £7000 part to pay for a car which require for my job and part as a mortgage deposit. I find it difficult to find a company that will give me a loan as I have been in my job for less than a year and at present I am a tenant. I definitely do not want to pay the interest welcome finance charge. Any advice would be deeply appreciated, thanks in advance.

    You should not be borrowing for a deposit for a mortgage!

    you've not provided much information


    what does your credit record say
    how much do you earn
    how old are you
    are you on the electoral roll
    what other debts do you have

    presumably you have been refused by your bank..what reason did they give?

    My Credit record has a decent track of me paying things on time like credit card and mobile phone bill. I am on the electoral role at my rented accommodation and have an outstanding overdraft of around £1400 which trying to get down bit by bit per month. Every month after tax I clear around £1300 and I am 23. Any help?

    Yeah, asked the bank to start off with but due to the high overdraft that I have pretty much at it's limit and was close to it's limit all through last year at uni they were unable to give me a loan.

    Maybe I'm just in the 'unloanable' class.
