    The honest answer is usually the best one!

    A crisis loan is only supposed to be paid if you have absolutely no-where else to turn so asking whther it's worth it would indicate that you probably shouldn't be applying:confused:

    I know, but would "its christmas and have no money for presents" be a reasonable answer...?

    Is that a joke?

    Agree with rachnbri, the purpose of a crisis loan is in its name.

    If the answer to that question is yes, then I think I will apply for an interest free crisis loan!

    Are you actually seriously asking if you would qualify for a crisis loan because you have no money from Christmas presents or were you bored :confused::confused:
