Hi!
I am looking at all my options for 2 reasons
My car's HP ends in October, with a final fee of 5500
Health treatment that i need/want doing privately
I have never had a credit card or a personal loan, only car finance and HP finance.
the amount i need to borrow is 9k, Ideally i would like to continue to finance my car and take out a 3k loan for the operation. i have no real knowledge other than reading through other peoples questions of how this works.
my concern is that i will be approved for my car finance and then won't be able to apply or be approved for a loan as well. would i be better off getting a personal loan for the total sum, or bring a credit card into the equation.
my outgoings are around £350, income is just over£18k
my credit rating is good
PLEASE HELP! all advice welcomed, very new to this!
thank you

Could you keep to just one post, rather than spamming all the boards.
Are you saying you want to start a new car refinance deal? Or borrow to pay a balloon payment?
