Does anyone know of a bank or institution...?

[Goat]

Does anyone know of a bank (or some other way) that'll lend a student $2000-5000 for other then school purposes?
Situation: I pretty much have a once in a life time opportunity to get an insane deal on grade A tools and toolbox that'll I'll use in my trade for the rest of my life. The opportunity ends Feb 14. I have a good chunk of change saved already but I'll need another $2000 or so. My credit is awesome, but only recently acquired (august) and my credit limit is only $1000. I'd be able to pay back the loan in 3 months tops.
RBC won't give me the loan because of my part time employment and full time student status, even though I make more part time then I will mechanic'ing full time until my second year.
And of course, by that time it'll be too late.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately, my family is are firm believers in the "figure it out on your own" department when it comes to financial matters such as this.

Just talk to the loan person (can't remember what they're called) at your bank about what other loan options are available to you. Some banks have 'crisis grants' or whatever they're called.
Wow, I sound dumb today. lol

JERKS (your family)!!! Unless they just don't trust you for whatever reason, then they arent.

The only easy way to gain credit with the 'big 5 banks in Canada' (which is all there is really) when youre young is to get a co-signor!

Do you have any friends that would co-sign for you? It really is the only option - thats the way oligopolies work; set the rules and then say tough to those that don't qualify because they can.

Hey, CIBC offers a revolving line of credit for full-time students.

Try there!

if you need it NOW... call wells fargo... you can get a loan in like 3 days from them[since with banks it takes 3+ weeks].. then just get a loan from a bank pay off your loan with wells fargo and your good.... cause interest rates with wells fargo suck[31%].
But since your working part time you need a co-signer.

why didnt you just call me and ask!?
[or ask me yesterday when we spoke?]
Seriously just call me... I'll let you speak with my mom... she's dealt with credit all her life..... I asked her for this post, but she needs more info. she acutually has a few options for ya!!!!

They're pretty decent actually. They just think I learn best when I figure things out on my own.

Let your mom know she still owes me $200, alright?

Thanks.

Oh ya. Go give yourself a battery acid douche, bitch. It might clean out some of the whore, but I doubt it.
