Payday lenders will require money to pay the amount you borrow hence the name "Payday Lenders".stuckinamoment wrote: »i know candyapple, - i just hoped there was an exception.
no unfortunately it is not something the nhs could cover.
okay, so really no other avenues people i could apply to? i have a lloyds account with a little bit of money in, no overdraft, is it worth trying to get a loan with them?
thanks again
There is no exception, what's to stop you not paying the loan and just disappear ? You need a source of income to pay the loan. How much money do you have ?
Maybe not an option but what about your parents ?0 -
just over a hundred0

fruitisbad - thanks but i looked and i wouldnt qualify for more than a few hundred0

Can you not get a job to get the money you need ?0

I don't see any options for you then.
No money or a little amount with no job.

You got a credit card ?
Could you apply for 1 ?[/STRIKE]
Could be other options available that I'm not aware of.0 -
If you need to move, have you tried looking into getting a Crisis or Budgeting Loan from your local council?

Do you have a mobile phone you could sell? Computer? Other expensive gadgets?
You still didn't answer if you could borrow off your parents/family/friends?
If you do need to move urgently, can the council not rehouse you temporarily somewhere else?I'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards. I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly, and I can move and merge threads there. Any views are mine and not the official line of moneysavingexpert.com0 -
i wasnt sure if i would be accepted for a credit card with no job?0

council would take a long time
no family i could borrow off
i have nothing worth much value to sell
thanks for all help so far by the way0 -

Have you looked into the crisis loan and applied ?
Your Clearscore rating of good is of no use to lenders as they don't see it.
Id look at the local credit union as mentioned in post #11.
What would you do if you cant get the money now and have to wait until march ?
What are you using to pay for food, bills etc /0
