    Hi Ickey,

    It's probably best if you start a separate thread for this but is it ok when you have a plan of action with paypal to take out more debt? also the loan rates vary between companies/banks so the loan you've been offered might not necessarily be your best option.
    Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000
    Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

    Mortgage balance: £34,965

    Money making challenge £78/400

    As with so many things, that depends on your circumstances and the cost of the loan. First of all, look at the "Newbies Guide" - and pull together an SOA.

    Then by starting a new thread and posting your SOA, you'll get advice from all the people on this board. You never know, you might be able to pull together £500 just by not wasting your money on unneccesary things.

    Even if you don't - every little helps.

    All my posts to the Freagan thread appear to have 'disappeared' too. Did they threaten legal action or something?

    and if I search for it on Google, the thread comes up but it's a dead link.

    why the big silence. if it's been deleted, everyone pretending there's no elephant in the room doesn't make it go away.
