When Santander was first set up, they were willing to offer money about willy nilly. They gave me a credit card for 4k no problem. I’ve never had any problems with credit, always pay everything on time, great credit history. I racked up 2k on my Santander card and paid it all off in full one day. So my balance was nil. The next week they contacted me to say they were dropping my credit limit to £500 and wouldn’t allow me any further credit than that!!! Santander are a law unto themselves.
I told MYA at my first appointment that I had £1k saved and wanted the rest on finance. They gave me the website address of Medical Loans and I just did it myself, very quick online application. They took 3 days to come back to me and approve.
