Hi.
Wont go into details, but basically need a short term loan (£6K) to be repaid max 2 weeks without outrageous penalties.
Any suggestions?

    0% credit card with a money transfer option?

    As above, a MT credit card.  Or, depending what you need the loan for, can it be paid using an ordinary credit card?  Or can it wait for 2 weeks until you've got the cash?
    I know you said you won't go into details, but if you told us what you need it for then we may be able to offer some more helpful suggestions.  It seems quite a high amount for such a short period of time.
    Please don't even consider the payday-loan types of outfit - that will cost you dear.  Although, I'm not even sure if these legalised loan sharks would even lend that amount.

    Just gonna use my CC for the bridge. The answer was right in front of me and i just never realised it. I have 56 days interest free and that will be then enough.
    Thanks for the replies though.

    Remember it's "up to" 56 days, depending on where abouts in your billing cycle the transaction occurs.  But even if you do have to pay interest, it'll certainly be cheaper than a payday loan, and potentially a bit cheaper than a money-transfer fee depending on your card's APR and how quickly you can repay it.
