Ok, so since the nice loan company people promise me the world and them take it away again, I have been feeling somewhat urm, !!!!ty. So, once again I am going to try my luck with the HSBC. So heres the rundown:
1. I don't bank with the HSBC
2. I need £45,000.
3. Unsecured (I said I was going to try my luck!)
4. Repay over 6 years.
5. Take mortgage with HSBC.
6. Smile and be nice.
The last time I was in with the HSBC in Belfast, (the only one) they didn't know the product they where selling very well. So much so I had so show them the leaflet I had recieved a couple of days earlier. So, they sent me home and and asked me to come back a week later, when they told me that I didn't qualify for this loan because I didn't have a degree. Now, from what I have read on these forums, as I understood a degree was not essential. Can anyone clarify this for me, once and for all?
I don't have any security to offer. I don't own a house, and my folks mortgage it maxed out, becauase Father Savage has just expanded his business.

So if they ask for security I'm stuffed. Again.
It really gets to me that the government will fund so much for other professions, like Law for example. I have a friend who is in her first 3 months at University and she has, apparently everything paid for her, because her family is on benefits. And yet, the government won't atleast HELP fund the careers pilots, one of the most important people in the fastest growing industry in the world! What gives?
Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant!
Wish me luck with the HSBC and anyone who has advice about them, please don't hesitate to contact me!

(I can't figure out how to change it in PPruNe)
NB: Before someone starts, yes I have already searched this, for crying out loud I started the whole HSBC degree's and loans thingy!
Take it easy.
