only have £30,000 in unsecured debt right now
credit is good have a credit card with £2,000 limit has £400 available to use right now, pay it off in full every month.
I would not agree that anything is good about either of these things.
And you seriously believe Amex are going to give you a credit card with a £3000+ credit limit …. ?0 -

I think you need a buffer in your budget, to cover yourself against any unknown expenses (either for business, private or both). We usually recommend a six-month buffer...With an EF saved up, it means you cope with the unknowns, without having to borrow.
Thank you for reminding me about emergency funds. I forgot about this. Next year will be working on building savings, ISAs, and overpaying debt as that interest is basically money I'm losing for nothingEmergency Fund: 0/1,000
ISA: 0/20,000

The unsecured debt is significantly lower than £30,000 that is the loan amount I borrowed in total. A 20k loan in 2017 and a 10k loan in 2018.
Total paid to date is ~£12k
Yes credit card may be a low limit compared to others on this forum, but I'm here looking for a solution for my current problem
Also monthly net income right now after taxes is could pay off my debts within 4 months without any stress whatsoever.Emergency Fund: 0/1,000

Just a quick google:
Barclays claim you can receive the (loan) funds on the same day as the application (for existing customers). HSBC also claim to do the same for existing customers. Have you checked your loan eligibility with a bank with whom you already have an account, as they may able to help?I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

Personal loans are with Barclays and no longer hold an HSBC account.Emergency Fund: 0/1,000

Then you’ll need to come up with an alternative way of getting cash.0

I have an urgent expense and need to make a payment of £3000 tomorrow. Can anyone recommend any same day use credit cards or same personal loans. I have a pretty good credit history. But require access to this sum of money for an emergency. Please share your ideas or opinions
The 'sign-off' at the foot of your posts suggests you have £1000 in your emergency fund and a stash in your ISA. You could use cash from there - as long as the ISA isn't locked in, in which case you'd need to transfer it out to get at it and that would take longer than 24 hours (presumably). Should be cheaper than any loan though.0
