It depends what you need the loan for. I don't think anyone likes having loans. Would the loan be for general spending money, or one big purchase (i.e for fees, a car, etc)?
Could you not just put some money aside each month before you go?Please continue to hold the line. Your call is very important to us and will be answered by next available robot...0 -
Use the time between now and next year when you go, to put away the money you would have paid on loan repayments anyway and you should find yourself with a nice nest egg which gains interest for you rather than someone else.Proud to have dealt with my debts.
