If you have kept a good clean credit history then the fact of the matter is that it will be relatively easy for you to locate a loan for 5000.  This may surprise you as much of radio and media coverage generally has suggested that the impact of the credit crunch has made locating suitable lenders veery much more difficult with the result that some folk are simply unable to get hold of a loan for sums as little as 5000 at all.  This typcially drives such people into the arms of the payday lenders which is likely only to exacerbate the situation.

However, if the basics of your credit score are all in tact then, as has always been the case, the ability to borrow 5000 will not present a problem.  After all the lenders who have suffered so much in the credit scare of late 2008 still have to make money, perhaps now more than ever.  And it is borrowers who are safe credit risks that they want more than anything else.  So do not worry, that loan for 5000 is out there for you.
