Tesco is around 3%Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

2.9% if you are one of the 51% of successful applicants borrowing between £7,500 and £15,000 over 1 to 5 years. M&S also offer a representative APR of 2.9% for certain loan amounts and terms. Since the OP is borrowing £7,000 over 6 years neither of those rates would have been available to the OP.
10.9% is definitely a lot better than the rates on the existing loans.0
