Posting for DD
Nationwide customer, early thirties, holding my only a/c there, working full time since 18 and wages paid in monthly, never been unemployed, no credit cards, only a debit card. Only DD is for a mobile phone, Netflix and a pcp car loan due to end (loan to make final payment)
Applied for loan, advertised rate for customers 3%, fit the criteria, age,salary paid in to main a/c etc, choose amount £7.5k which should attract the promo rate.
Web site doesn!!!8217;t work properly, phone them, get a nice bloke that says !!!8220; yeah, website faulty !!!8220; takes details comes back with offer of 5.2% and as if that isn!!!8217;t bad enough, says !!!8220; you!!!8217;d need to take it today because the interest rate could go up!!!8221;
Thought it was only double glazing salesmen did that....lol

No two ways about this one: Anything Free is not a Basic Right..it had to be earned...by someone, somewhere

That's a very good rate for someone with limited history.0

Scroll down. You'll spot the 24.9% Nationwide loan thread.
5.2% is pretty decent.0 -
I recently got a £10K loan from Nationwide, it was at 3.6%.0
