Your opinion on my chances of getting a loan

[21Rach]

ok was working until the other day when i had applied to take all remaining holiday, at the point it runs out - late december i'll be on maternity leave, have baby sometime december/january/early feb and then return to work end of february, beginning of march. i have a letter as confirmation of my guaranteed payments from my company -

What do you think my chances of getting accepted for a £2-2,500 loan over 24/36 months? salary of 12k. not sure after childcare/benefits what the adjusted salary will be from feb/march when i return to work.

My friend reckons doubtful. i know i should just apply.. but i'd really like all advice/opinions before i go for this.

it's for a car - mine was a total mot failure had to be scrapped. so i'm a clown i've now got car seat and base i've forked out £200 for lol.... will make life easier to get a car to go with it lol!!!

also, when i got to apply for a loan i'll have to put unemployed wouldnt i? or do i put employed?

thank u for whoever took the time to read, and whoever replies thanks for the advice, if you think im crazy i will reconsider it lol

current climate they dont give out loans easily these days. Things go against you like unemployment,
I am self employed and partner is a copper and we have already been knocked back for a loan TWICE this week! Cos we need a loan for to put towards our deposit on a house. The more you try- the more credit checks go against your name and it doesnt look good all this refused credit showing up my mortgage/financial advisor told me !

Goodluck hun. x

you are still employed hun, check out the moneysuoermarket for good advice on the best plae to try, definately dont go to a car loan company, try the banks etc first off, but its true that if you keep getting refused it goes against you x

good luck

Check your credit score on one on of the refrencing agencies. Equifax is currently doing a free 30 day trial. Even with good credit you could be refused. If you look in the loans section of moneysavingexpert.com there are a few people experiencing declines with perfect credit.

I was under the impression that personal loans could not be used for house deposits. When I worked for one of the major high street banks you had to provide evidence of your deposits and if it was from a loan then it was refused. Has this changed?

The financial advisor told us to do it this way... so maybe it has changed
