I need a short term loan

Options
I need to borrow up to £15,000 for a short term (could be as little as a couple of weeks, maybe up to a couple of months). My bank has said that they won't entertain an overdraft of that much (even though I have a perfect record etc) and the personal loan they offer seems to have punitive early repayment clauses. In the perfect world, I'd be happy with something like an overdraft or a method of funding maybe part of it via my barclaycard (but I have no debts to transfer, as I pay it off every month). Within reason, I'm relaxed about interest rates as I won't have the loan for very long.
Oh, and I need it sorted within the next 5 days!
Any suggestions please?

    taking a personal loan on short term would cost you 2 months interest for an early pay off and prob cheaper than an overdaft. easiest an quickest route me thinks...

    Depends on the loan provider, I would imagine. I know natwest/rbs only charge 2 mnths interest, and if you 'change your mind' within the first 14 days then there's no charge as this is still the 'cooling off period'.
