Credit Union- savings and loans

Just thought, for those of you who wouldnt know. This is a really good way to save money- they take it direct from your wage, and put it in a savings account, £10 a week, equates to £520...

They also do loans with very low interest rates, so if you have £100 in your savings account, you can apply for a loan of £500. and pay back £530 over a period of 52 weeks, repayment is £11.50 a week.

So for those of you stressing over the bonus- this was my back up plan- as my family dont have that much. At least if we do get a bonus, i can just pay off this loan... And we will have a good christmas now.
And if i can sort it, we've cracked it for next year too.


as long as you have £100 you can apply for loan mine was granted in 24 hours and paid by bacs... so technically you could set it up, pay £100 straight in and apply for your first loan.

But remember if a person from the same family owes commsave any money whether you have nothing to do with the other persons debt they will refuse any loan. So be aware make sure your family dont default on there loans.

Nothing to do with your credit rating its if an other family member who owes them money. Then they will you will be refused credit. My son left Royal Mail 3 years ago owing money and apparently i am responsable.

If everyone uses a Credit Union how are those payday loan companies going to survive?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

not everyone has option of credit union- but thats what i was using before discovering this...
where if i got £100, i would repay £130.
it costs me same amount of interest for repaying £500 in 12 months. £30. Bit nuts really, as long as you've saved some money with them.
hopefully we'll get good news this week, which will help everyone, but if we dont, then there is always this.
either way though, its a good way to save.
