Hello,
Can any of you point me to lenders more likely to give small loans (1k) to people with good but slim credit history (2yrs)?
Thanks!
Your cholesterol levels are not seen, or used, by your heart and arteries, so ignore it.

    For £1000 it may be better putting it on a credit card.

    I had unexpected medical expenses not covered by the NHS that eroded my funds. In case you assumed wrongly!

    Not sure, as I only have a sub-prime card. Hence, the question.

    No one will recommend you a lender - only recommend lenders not to go with - ie, anyone with an interest more than a credit card.

    and if you've got poor credit history those are the only lenders who will consider you.

    However you say your history is 'good but slim (2 Years)'. If you have a bank account, are on the electoral roll and are managing your credit card, you may be OK with a mainstream lender.
