Sav,
I've had problems getting help from them
3 times gone in to apply,
3 times they give me a different reason to why they won't lend any,
ranging from Not being a customer to not having a degree, they keep moving the goal posts.
A instructor gave me really good advice and told me to do one step at a time which has proved to be right.
I was on a full time atpl course before my funds ran out which made me go distance learning and the ave age was about 30.
I was worried i was running out of time to do it (i'm 23 with 2 kids) but going on that cousre made me realise there is no rush especially at the moment.
So i'm working, saving, studying and hopefully i won't need a massive loan.
Anyway i'm still on the lookout so if anyone has any ideas let us all know.
