This recession etc, etc. Can someone explain to me why, in this mornings post, have I received from my bank (one with the black horse), an offer of an unsecured personal loan of £25k as long as my current circumstances remain unchanged.
The letter provides the actual telephone of my branch rather than the call centre number and is signed by the branch Manager. I appreciate that I work in the closeted environment of the Civil Service, but I'm struggling to understand why this 'money' is being offered in the current climate etc. Thought my bank was in the middle of a financial 'mine field' as well at the mo. |

Alot of this current shite Carlos is due to banks etc. lending too much money. Obviously they want to make money. Point is, the banks, finance houses etc should have learned their lesson by now.
It seems strange imo taking everything into account. I won't be taking them up on their 'offer' anyhow. |

I signed in to an online bank account last week (another of the so called big boys in trouble) and was greeted by an instant offer of a £15K loan. All I had to do was click a few buttons and it was mine. I had the same contempt for this unrequested offer. Anyone struggling financially due to recession could have easily taken this offer due to a moment of weakness. Nothing less than Shocking IMO Shame on them (Bank$). However, getting out of the other side of the bed, I could have taken the loan and waved the £15k (and my 330d part ex) in front of the nearest BMW Dealership and haggled a cracking deal on an E93 M3 with DCT in White with Red Leather mmmmm |

They're just building up the next asset bubble and burst with this return to throwing out loans. Typical. Of course the govt want us to carry on spending regardless, as we have an economy totally dependent on consumer spending. That's why they relaxed the bank's capital adequacy ratios with the last bailout. Borrow or bust baby!
