  • I was approved for a loan by the Halifax a couple of weeks ago - I do bank with them though.
  • MY BANK RBS have asked me everytime ive been in recently if i want a loan,mind you ive been with them 33 years and have a AAA credit rating despite being out of work for 10 years due to disability,but its essential in this climate not to miss even the smallest payment or be even a day late with one

    Loans are not just connected to credit rating and income - repayment capacity is also taken into a/c, have the banks asked for an income & expenditure ??

    I applied for a Barclaycard loan to clean my Barclaycard but was refused.

    I then applied for the same amount through my Bank First Direct and was approved online instantly and the money was deposited to my Bank Account all within 2 minutes of applying.

    So paid off Barclaycard and closing it.

    of course, my expenses quite small and I just needed a loan to reduce payments on another one but for some reason they refused me (tesco). I've applied for joint loan.
    Sainsburys offered me 20% :)))) pirates!

    anyway it is not that critical, just wanted to find out what is going on on the market with loans upto 7.9%
