mate, this is what parents are for im afraid, its a tough one to swallow, but you have no choice.

''mum, dad, i f**ked up, im broke, i need £100 or i get a bad credit rating, i can give it straight back to you in 5 days''

either that, or ask a GOOD mate......

really, dont miss a payment, it fooks things up, my insurance company got shitty when i did, and the bank charged me £38 the 3 times it happened too! then refused to give me a student account with overdraft based on my bad credit rating as a result of missed insurance payments!

Ouch, how can you be a student without an overdraft? I'm on -£1698 at the moment (not including my load of course) :turned:

Ahhh now i'm worried as i'm going to miss my payment this month due to my wages being totally slashed at work

Do people just suggest ringing up then? i doubt i have very many ways of borrowing money either! Ekkk!!

You weont get a bad credit rating, worst that'll happen is you'll get a bank penalty of like £30 and the insurance company will try taking the money again in around 7-10 days.

If you dont know the answer to something, DOnt just make something up.

i didnt make it up, things like missed direct debit payments do go against your credit rating.

they effect your behavior score, which everyone has with their bank, and the banks generally will not tell you about.

your behavior score is based on how you use your money, missed payments, constantly near the bottom of an overdraft, constant payments out with nothing going on, they all effect behavior score, likewise, mobile phone contracts, car insurance direct debits, regular payments in and out of a similar level, all help the behavior score.

when you go to your own bank for a loan, its this behavior score that they use to asses if your a safe bet for a loan.

i was told all this when i was refused a student account when i started uni, and i was showed on screen how my behavior score had risen and fallen over the past few years, and how it had dropped MASSIVELY when i missed direct debits. i was told this made me a high risk customer.

its true the insurance company will just try to take the money again in 10 days time, but the original debit request is still rejected. which goes against you.

And will probably charge you a fee for not being able to pay it, something around £30-40. Which you'll have to claim back through the steps in that thread we had a little while ago about claiming back illegal charges by the banks.
