| Why you should never take a loan from your bank
You can almost always borrow more money for less by shopping around online. Save yourself hundreds of pounds by not falling for the hype. Have you ever been tempted by the thought of borrowing thousands when your bank sends you a loan offer in the post? What about that moment when you ring up and they offer you an account review and you just know they actually mean to offer you a personal loan? Our advice is to steer well clear of most high street banks if you are looking for a loan. Most offer really poor value and you can do much better shopping around for cheaper credit. This is especially true if you are looking to borrow less than 7,500.

Consolidating Debt With Credit Cards
At some point we lose track of the due dates on our bills because we have so many credit cards to repay, and risk being charged late fees and penalties. If you find yourself in this situation then you may want to consider consolidating all your debts onto one credit card. The best option for consolidating all your debt is by obtaining a personal loan that you can then use to pay off all your cards and focus on paying just one monthly bill instead of five or six bills. Often a personal loan will offer a lower interest rate than what you are currently paying and the monthly payment may be less than what you were paying in total to all the creditors. Another option to consider is consolidating your debt onto one credit card. If you have a card with a low interest rate that has enough credit to allow you to transfer money onto it, then you may want to consider doing such.
Getting the cheapest car loan
The launch of the new 2007 number plates has seen thousands of Britons buy new cars, but many of these could be paying too much by using expensive car loans. This month it is predicted about 400,000 people will buy a car, with many of them needing a car finance package to complete the deal. And with this in mind, financial advice service Moneyextra.com has produced a guide to getting the best value car loans. The most popular type of forecourt finance is currently hire purchase – where the loan is secured against the car you are buying. This is often offered by car dealerships themselves, but means the car is not owned until the final payment has been made. And it is expensive. Average interest rates for hire-purchase schemes are in double digits, whereas personal loans are currently available for less than six per cent.
