I need £500 ASAP for one week. Best option?
Options
Hello All
I need £500 ASAP in my account, until next Friday.
I am able to pay off more as i get paid so that's not an issue, i just need the money now in my account.
I am out of ALL options.
I am looking at payday loans and wondering which to go for. They all say repayment in 3 months. I cant seem to find like, a week lender,
Anyone know of any they used that don't spam the crap out of me?

If you're being offered three months to repay, why wouldn't you just repay after a week?0

You mean take the three months and just pay it all off? I will see if that can be done!0 -
Take it out of an isa? Do you have one?0

Do you live near any docks? There’s normally good money to be made doing favours for sailors I hear. I imagine that means sewing buttons back onto uniforms, that sort of thing. Cash in hand, I understand.0

It was a few weeks back and circs were very different, but after being turned down by a short term lender that I'd only ever gone to, I ran a soft search with Satsuma as weekly repayment and also Little loans (though I changed my mind and didn't proceed so don't know if soft search was just a hook, no idea on required checks)
** little loans maybe a broker from what I recall
My take is you can usually pay back more than what you are mandated to at any time as I've done many a time since 2014 with the interest coming down.0 -

Credit card cash advance is probably the easiest, and will almost certainly be cheaper than a payday loan.0

Not a payday loan. Why do you have a stocks and shares isa but no emergency fund?
