  • The best thing to do is shop around online if you have a good Credit Rating. You will be able to find the best deals online and i'm sure there will be somewhere on this Forum pointing them out....

    If not you can always try your Bank.

    I'm sure someone will a little more Knowledge will be along soon!!!:j

    Are you looking for secured or unsecured?
    Do you have adverse credit?
    Try your bank first if your credit file is clean and you want unsecured.

    The Bank of Mum and Dad usually do the best deals imo. ;)

    Here are a couple of online ones which depending on your credit rating might be worth looking at and can apply online.

    Zopa would be a good choice if you have good credit rating. I'm a lender on their, however I don't bother anymore adding any new money as the rates are so low I can make more money from a normal savings account.
