Just a quick note to those interested in the loan situation.
I just recieved an email to confirm that all new applicants must apply for their own loans through whatever bank they choose. They do still have contact with HSBC and advised me to contact them as a first option.
The secured loan may not be available in the future.

Are there any other banks who would give such a large unsecured loan? I seriously doubt it. What is the nature of CTC's contract with HSBC now? Does that mean that they still offer the unsecured loan, just not through CTC? I'm totally stuffed if I can't get a loan

I dont really want to copy and paste the email, but it just says that the loan is the cadets responsibility and that they must contact HSBC themselves if thats who they want the loan from.
HSBC do have an arrangement with Cabair, which is still a secured loan. We can only hope that a similar thing will be offered.
I doubt that many banks will loan in excess of £60'000 without an awful lot of equity as house prices fall!!!
I'm sure there are a few of us who will have to look at other ways of doing it!!
I am in correspondence with CTC and will update if i find out anything else.
I know that people are still having interviews with HSBC until end of September.
The whole situation is a bit hazy at the moment with the economy as it is.

HSBC funding
For those who have recently and successfully obtained the hsbc loan from southampton...
What questions/checks/expectations do they expect.
Meeting friday - clearly concerned given the importance of the funding.
Any help would be hugely grateful.

Just got off the phone to HSBC in southampton and they said as of the end of september there will be no loans at all for CTC students!! Even their professional studies loan doesnt cover pilots!!
Just wondering if anyone has been to selection what they are saying??
The website has changed too explaining what you now have to pay.

Am I missing something?
Maybe you should have a quick look and let us know what you find
edit: Good luck with phase 4 tomorrow Chris

Can someone post a link to the HSBC site that deals with the loans for pilot training please.

Kerosine; Im not sure what the other poster is talking about but HSBC have a professional studies loan of up to £25'000 for people training to be doctors/lawyers etc etc.... unfortunately training to be a pilot is not included!! Google it and you will see.
Anyone any ideas as to where i can borrow the money??? Answers on a postcard!!

Sorry if I have caused confusion, I read about a web site detailing information on the HSBC situation and assumed that this was an HSBC web site. I think I was mistaken!
I have my phase 4 tomorrow, sitting at home trying to think of things to do to keep my mind occupied!!
Hope I haven't jinxed phase 4 by asking about HSBC

Hi Everyone,
Been reading the post for a while now as I'm due out on the CP67 course in October.
I'm an ICP guy, but my loan has all been confirmed, I've passed the tests etc, passed the credit rating etc and all that jazz. However, mine is stuck at the Solicitors stage where you have to get your parents legal advice as it is secured against their house.
I've been let down by HSBC as they've sent the wrong information to me and I've now had to hassle them to re-write the correct agreement between themselves and my parents.
Does anyone therefore know / had the opportunity to speak to anyone regarding the situation? e.g if you're halfway through / 75% through sorting it, how do you stand regarding the loan in september?
I've tried ringing Lynda,m but shes no longer there and Allison is on HOliday and Samantha hasn't rung me back. I've even got onto the securities dept who are tryng to sort the situation out!
Anyone else in similar situa on wings or icp course?

jaimz1982, did you get the full amount of the course cost +living expenses? or have you had to stump up some of the money yourself. I'm trying to sort a place on the iCP course too, but money is all the issue! and no-one from HSBC is about to talk to!

Does anyone know the reasoning behind this change in CTC/HSBC partnership? I'm going ou ton CP69 on Dec31st, and my head is spinning with possible reasons (none of which very positive!).
Now, I'm a worrier by nature, so this situation regarding HSBC and CTC has (unsurprisingly) made me worried.
Is there anything conrete (i.e. not what osmeone thinks and posts as "I heard...blah blah blah) about why HSBC are stopping funding, and what implications this has for the CTC Wings Cadets?
What are CTC saying to the guys going through selection about financing and this recent change?

Implications are that new cadets will have to secure an independant loan against a property and/or fixed asset. This makes it effectively unavailable to people such as myself who do not have fixed assets.
