Help to get a loan please

Hi,

I am looking for an unsecured loan of 6k. I have a rubbish credit history. Just wondered if anyone could recommend anywhere for me to go?

Thanks in advance, Laura.:snow_laug

    Hi

    I have a poor credit history too and have just got a loan with black horse. it is a higher interest rate though i think its about 18% :eek:

    They were nice and helpful i applied online but had to go in and see them to sign documents and take ID which they never asked to see when i got there!!!!! (i could have been anyone!!!) money was in bank 3 days later

    Good Luck:rudolf:
  • lea76. How much was the loan for if you dont mind me asking? I was going to get one to cover a loan with my bank, the interest there is high. I too have poor credit. I tried with Northern Rock & didnt get one yet i own a house etc..I currently have about 7k loan & pay about £220 per moth but wanna start to over pay it.
