Hi all,

I seeking advise regarding a loan. My car has just given up the ghost so i need to get my hands on some cash fast. I went to see my my bank to day, but it would appear for a £2000 loan the best rate HSBC can give is 17%! which i thought i was very steep. Does anyone else know of a better rate that i could go apply for?

THanks Matt

  • It all depends on your credit scoring.
    Short of applying to various places and putting loads of footprints on your credit file (which has a negative effect in the long run)...I don't know what else to do.

    Sounds similar to the rate Natwest/RBS would offer. The less you borrow, the higher the APR.
