Angry Banks and loans - credit crisis?

Hi to all,

Just a friendly note to say that HSBC and Barclays have now completely stopped doing Professional Studies loans for an ATPL. I'm over the moon about this after spending hours on a business plan which the bank manager at HSBC commented was one of the best he had seen for a very long time (with the help of my fathers input) and even during the presentation he was sure that the funding was still available. Unfortunately Barclays have also gone south on this issue.

Whilst this thread may seem pointless and negative I actually wanted to write this to say to anyone in my position at the moment....DO NOT GIVE UP! If you are half as eager to get into this proffession as I am, and for the right reasons, then DO NOT GIVE UP!

Anyone out there in this crap situation that doesn't know where to try next reply to this and maybe between us we can come up with some idea's!!!

Cheers

Chris
