Getting a bank loan if you're not on the list....
....or so despite being here for 5 years I've still got £5k on an English credit card, which is stupid, and I'm paying £100 a month interest.
So I was going to simply get a loan from the bank, pay it off and close it - no worries. Now unfortunately my boss hasn't registered the company with any banks so I can't get a loan that simply - well HSBC can give me one but at a whopping 18%. Now to be honest I'm probably paying that back home but it's still a lot. Now my boss most likely won't register us as he couldn't care less about us as long as he's ok and telling the bank about how much we make, how long we've been going etc doesn't appeal to him. So....any advice? Do I just bite the bullet and get it? |

Do you definitely need a loan?
3,000 AED per month thrown at the card will be 36,000 AED in 12 months (approx £6,400) I know it's not appealing 3,000 AED per month - but it'll be done then? |

Alternatively - if your boss is such a twunt not to register with the banks see if he'll give you a six month interest free loan deducted monthly from your salary with the agreement if you leave before paid off the balance is deducted from your final salary / gratuity...
And d yeah I need it paid off asap, it goes to my mams address and I don't want her blacklisted, also it's been hanging over me for bloody years. |

Do you get a bonus at work or anything like that?
I know it's not ideal to rely on shit like that but if you can service that credit card with a bit each month until bonus comes and then boom. Cleared. |

How would a bank loan improve your position ? Pay off a chunk of the credit card every month.

Ask your UK bank for a full and final settlement (once you've saved up approximately 50-67% of the debt, you might be surprised when they accept.

if you can afford to pay a loan here then you can afford to bang some cash off it in the UK, think straight mate :p

What's that?
Say you owe them £5,000, tell them you'll pay £2,500 for full and final (ie fully cleared), and you'll pay it in a given time, within a week for example. The bank is charging interest on interest, if you've had it a while then they've made a shed load of cash off you. The bank will come back with a counter offer, negotiate but don't pay more than 2/3rds of the full amount, ie, around £3,300. As this is an agreed payment it wont affect your credit rating (or your mam's) but you will get your card cancelled. Job sorted. |
