    The OP has gone awfully quiet.

    Maybe reality is sinking in, or their tin of SPAM has finished.

    Reading their other thread I would not think he has any chance of a loan with anyone apart from the sharks.

    One chap on the phone talked me into a consolidation loan, really pushing me to pay the start up fee right now, but I want to think about it.
    Tell me you didn't provide them with your card details?

    With missed payments I suspect you are only going to get the interest of scammers and payday loans.

    I thought you were looking for a consolidation loan, not a DRO?

    Which is why your credit rating is probably pointing towards nobody but the bottom feeders. But even bottom feeders are wary these days of lending to those with poor credit ratings.

    See the OPs other posts. Given the OPs current job/debt problems, I think consolidation loan can be struck off the list of available options.

    OP - at the end of the day, no one can make you pay what you don't help. It does sound like you need some help from the like of a debt relief charity.
