Meet Nick

Our Christmas story

Meet Nick.

With three brothers, one older sister, three aunties, two uncles and countless cousins, Nick had quite a large family to say the least. So although Christmas was one of the most entertaining times of the year, it was also one of the most expensive.

In fact, year after year Nick found himself going into his overdraft and depending on high-interest credit cards to cover the cost of presents for everyone, travelling back home and meeting up with old friends over the festive period. The cost factor had developed into an unfortunate Christmas tradition in itself.

And, this year, Nick and his wife had an extra expense to pay for – Nick Jr. The months of October and November past by in a flash, and any spare income that would have gone towards the usual horde of gifts actually went towards baby clothes and toys. With jingle bells fast approaching, the Christmas challenge seemed more daunting than ever before.

For Nick, the whole month of December was looking increasingly tight, so he began to research a few loan options to tide him over until the new year. He decided it would be better to be able to enjoy all aspects of Christmas with his family and friends, and then gradually pay back his borrowings over the following year.

That’s when Nick approached Evolution Money.

As a homeowner, Nick was keen to talk through his options for a secured loan. He’d been refused loans elsewhere and was worried that his past credit history (including a few late credit card payments) would block him from getting a loan application approved.

Speaking to one of our expert loan advisors, we explained that Evolution Money take into account the entire financial situation, not just credit scores. Nick, as with many of our clients, was relieved to hear this and made himself clear that he didn’t need to borrow too much and was looking for a flexible repayment plan.

Together we designed a bespoke £1,000 secured loan with a one-year repayment plan. This would enable Nick to enjoy Christmas with his family.
