loans from the bank of mum are great, you can be late with payments, and most of the time no intrest is paid.

I was paying £108.60 a month over 4 years for my corsa...
Payments end in a few months but the contract thing says I can't modify my corsa & it must remain fully insured at all times (FC) aswell as remain road-legal... oops...

It's easier getting finance on a car than to get a loan, as the finance is secured on the car itself, but a personal loan (most people here probs still live with parents) would be harder to get with those circumstances.
Thats why car finance always have higher-interest rates also so they win either-way!

it doesnt matter if you live at home or not, all it goes on is how you've been with credit in the past, if you go over your overdraft every month or get a credit card and within a couple of months have maxed it out then you probably wont get a p loan. residential status hardly ever comes into it. as long as your income/expenditure balances with the new figures you're normally ok
