CommanderBlonde,
HSBC were happy to loan me the cash unsecured. I went to them with a plan of what I wanted to do, how I wanted to do it and how I was going to pay them back. They were happy because I had a degree, got myself good grades (well ok ones) and presented myself to them which basically showed them I wasn't going to rip them off and spend it on women and booze.
I din't take the full £25K, only because I could get cash off another company at a low rate. So I split the loans which reduced the interest and therefore when the damn repayments come in I'm moving house and changing my name to Ned Flanders!

My friend who also has a degree got £28,000 from them, but I'm not sure whether it was secured or unsecured. I'll find out if anyone wants to know.
