I'm not sure if you are serious, but just in case someone actually
decides to follow this advice...

Applying for a loan will generate a credit check which can look bad
especially if you fail it.  Also obtaining a loan is no indication
of good credit, especially in this era of cheap and easy credit.

It doesn't sound worth £6 a year.

Cheers,
Andy
