Provident last hope

    Just looking for anyone who has borrowed from them. I can't seem to get a loan for Xmas as I defaulted on my mortgage last year and these are my only hope. Do many people borrow from them and are they really that bad? I do have enough money at the moment I want to enjoy Christmas without watching every penny.

    From their website: Representative example: €500 loan repayable over 52 weeks. 52 weekly payments of €15.00. Rate of interest 56.0% p.a. fixed. Representative 157.3% APR. Total Amount Payable is €780.

    This is an extortionate rate, and it would be better to be watching every penny for a while rather than borrow at such an eye-watering rate.

    You say you have enough money, so why not budget accordingly?
