Bristol Finance

Good:
The cash is paid out very quickly and is delivered to your door

Bad:
Really high rates of interest so you could pay up to £55 back on a £100 loan

Verdict:
Doorstep lenders usually have bad reputations but this is a small company who work on family values - not the worst out there but only use as a last resort as it is very expensive

Bristol Finance offers small, unsecured, personal loans between £30 and £1,000, which is really great if you only need to borrow a small amount. Be aware though that the most you will repay on a £100 loan is £55 so it is very expensive. They are a doorstep lender which means an agent will come to your house to discuss the loan with you and the cash will also be delivered to your house. An agent will come weekly (or whenever arranged) to pick up your repayments.

Doorstep lending has not got the best reputation but Bristol Finance are a small, family-owned finance company. Most of their agents tend to be women who are working for them part-time, which could be less threatening compared to some of the agents from other doorstep lenders. They can help you if you know you aren't going to be able to make a payment on time, possibly avoiding any late charges or default fees. If you don't have good credit and this is one of your last options, this is more than likely a better company to go with as opposed to Greenwood or Provident as they are smaller and family-run.

To apply, you will need to either give them a call or complete the form on their "Contact Us" page on their website. A representative will get in touch with you the same day to discuss the loan.
