    Sedulous - that's a fair point mate, but my question is regarding the £25,000 loan not why I am doing all of this

    dealer wins - what basic question have I asked?.. I got declined for a 25K loan when I feel as though I shouldn't have so just asking people's opinions as to why

    Nobody knows the answer but the bank who rejected you.

    It does seem like a high amount compared to annual salary, and based on your history of at least one high value recent loan it probably appears to lenders that you are not managing to cope.

    I have had a promotion and earn £40,000 now, lets say for example I get a £25,000 loan over 5 years, I would earn £125,000 in that amount of time so why am I being declined? :(

    It's about income per year, not income over the time of the loan.
