Bank loan in temporary employment

restless6

I want to extend my hsbc bank loan so I can change my cat but they mentioned on the phone that I have to be in permanent employment .

I am in a temporary job until June, when it will be renewed for another year.
I have other income from tax credits and a second job which is on a zero hours contract (both jobs with nhs)

Do you think my chances of getting the loan - I want £8000 is zero ?

You want to borrow £8k to buy a CAT? Good grief !

I am guessing car.

Stick with your old car or buy something cheaper.

Cats are cheaper to run than cars. Get a cat!

I already have a cat

I could buy a different car, but the one that best fits my requirements would need the loan.
I would rather take a bank loan than car finance as it is much cheaper.

Just a bit gutted if I can't do it because of my contract.
