I thought you couldn't get a loan from them until you had been in it a year.

All in the link,last year they done a xmas special where if you had at least £1 in savings you could borrow up to £1k,i had one,not sure if they are doing it again this year,contact them and ask.

Also from Facebook...
"if your credit is bad will you be accepted"

Commsave Credit Union: "Yes of course"

EDIT:And...
We have recieved several inquiries about our christmas loans. At the moment we are unsure if we will be offering them this year, however once we know we shall let you know.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

dont say you were bankrupt
Wow dangerous advice :shock: at least without knowing the background.

If still legally declared bankrupt and the loan is over £250 it could be a crime under section 360 of the Insolvency Act 1986 http://www.leathesprior.co.uk/services/ ... -offences/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Bankrupt obtains credit either solely or jointly with another in excess of £250 without informing the creditor that he is a bankrupt. Wide definition of “credit”!
