Hi all,
Does anyone know of a loan provider that will provide a personal loan for a length longer than my remaining visa?
My visa expires next year in September, but I will be eligible for ILR and will convert to permanent residency. I own a house and have a mortgage, so I have roots in the UK long-term.
I was soft denied by Nationwide for a 48 month loan for debt consolidation and told I could only do an 11 month loan due to my visa.
Are there any mainstream providers that will offer a longer loan term?
For context, I am looking to pay off c.£14,000 in credit card debt, interest rate of 35%. Have been to a counsellor, have a new budget, have the root causes sorted and family supporting me emotionally, but getting eating by nearly £400/m in interest. A personal loan would help wipe this off.
