    If the relative was to borrow at the best advertised loan rates, this would only cost them £6 or £7 a month more than the arrangement with you.

    @1.5000% 214.78
    @2.8525% 220.69
    @3.2511% 222.45

    That's about two cans of beer at home instead of in the pub

    And why compare to Santander, when you can find 2.5 to 5% elsewhere for some of this?

    @2.5% 219.14

    Exactly. Far better to let the professionals give loans.
    I don't lend money, or for that matter borrow it.
    Seen lending money to friends or rellys turn to grief too many times.

    If only we had a £ for every time we'd read about it all going Pete Tong, eh!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    A relative still owes my partner £15,000! Because he's family the borrower thinks he can just ignore it and continue to take the mick!

    There is absolutely no doubt I will get the money back. I just want to save someone some interest.
    They are immortal, can’t be made unemployed, can’t marry, divorce, or get a crippling and expensive illness?

    How can this be?
