Hi was just looking at ways of getting a personal loan and am hoping you may be able to help me…I am receiving centrelink payments of $900pf and have no other source of income…I have a credit card balance owing to the anz of $1100 and various other debts that i am paying off on a weekly/fortnightly basis ranging from payments of $100/$150pf…Ideally i would like to consolidate these debts and was wondering if you could help me…My mother has a 2007 Mitsubishi Sedan valued at $8000 and she is willing to use that as security against my personal loan…Is there anyway you would consider giving me a personal secured loan of $2500/$3000… Look forward to your reply…Thank you very much Stacey….
Hi Stacey,
Thanks for your comment.
To get more information on institutions that take Centrelink payments, please read through the guide to understand more on how this works.
Most lenders usually set the minimum borrowing amount at $5,000 so it might be worth your while to head into a branch to discuss your options for consolidation and using cars as security.
Please let us know how you go, and if we could provide anymore information that might help!
Thanks
Matt
