Pretty quick. i had mine all within a week. You apply, they send out forms to sign (usually next day) and you send them back and money will usually be in your account the day they recieve the forms back. Great service in my opinion.

just 1% each month (APR12.7%) on the reducing balance of your loan. As an example this means that should you borrow £1000 from the Credit Union repaid over 1 year your total repayment will be £1066.18.you will have to save for at least 3 months ,then lend you 3x your savings.you have up to three years to pay loan off.

Hi All, The Christmas loans are now available to any new member joining now, or any current member that doesnt already have a loan outstanding. The maximum available as a Christmas loan is £1,000 with payments of just £20 per week. Our phones are really busy at the moment, so if you are having trouble getting through please leave a message, and we will get back to everyone, or if you have a PIN number you can fill out the application form online via our website.

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.

So if I've got this right,you have to join and have one third of the amount you wish to borrow saved before you can borrow?
Or does this not apply to Xmas loans?
