Virgin boss Branson coughs up £747 million for Northern Rock

The Treasury has confirmed that state-owned bank Northern Rock is to be sold to Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Money for £747 million.

The takeover of the Newcastle-based bank, which was taken into public ownership in February 2008, is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

The Government will receive an initial £747 million with the potential to secure £1 billion in total - less than the estimated £1.4 billion it has injected into the bank during its period of public ownership.

Virgin Money failed in a bid to buy the bank following its collapse in 2007.

The operational headquarters of the combined business will be in Newcastle, while Virgin Money has pledged no further compulsory redundancies beyond those already announced for at least three years.

Virgin Money chief executive Jayne-Anne Gadhia said the deal would create a "major new competitor" in the UK retail banking sector.

She added: "The two businesses complement each other well and together they will create a strong bank with over four million customers."

The acquisition includes 75 branches and 2,100 staff, one million customers, a £14 billion mortgage book and retail deposits worth £16 billion.

Virgin Money, which was founded in 1995, has around three million customers.

Chancellor George Osborne said there would be a "powerful new presence on the high street" which would offer "real choice and competition".

"It's also good for British taxpayers - we are getting some of the money back that we put into the banking system under the last government.

"And it's also good for the north east of England, because we are seeking to protect jobs there and make sure that the headquarters of Virgin Money will be in Newcastle."

He added that the Treasury had taken independent advice on the deal and "looked carefully at all the figures".

Bad Credit Unsecured Loans – Risk Free Loan for Bad Creditors ...

In your past you might have borrowed a loan and were unable to pay it back in stipulated time or faltered in strictly adhering to the terms and conditions of the loan defrayal, earning a bad credit against your name. However financial emergencies wait for no man to gear up and emerge on a whim of their own. Bad credit secured loans are designed to let you deal with such situations.

Mechanism of bad credit

A credit score lies in the range of 300 to 850. This emerges from your past history of loans procurement and their repayment. A faulty repayment earns you a negative credit and then a credit score under 500 is considered to be in the bad credit category.

General features of bad credit secured loans

Bad credit secured loans are secured types of loans. This means to obtain the loan you need to secure the loan against collateral. The security can be any of your movable or immovable property such as your house, car, bank balance, jewelries, or anything worth the loan amount. However, before the grant of the loan, the money lending organization assesses the worth of the security you are going to mortgage. Depending on the equity of the collateral, the loan amount is granted.

Statistical figures

The bad credit secured loans may fetch you a loan amount varying from £5000 to £100000. The exact amount depends on the amount applied and the equity of the collateral. The repayment duration varies from 5-25 years.

The interest rates for bad credit secured loans vary from 7.9% variable APR to 19.9% APR. The slightly higher interest rates compensate for the bad credit score of the borrower. However, with providing the collateral with higher equities the borrower and the moneylender may settle for a competitive interest rate.

There are many moneylenders available both online and offline. Searching online for the apt lender may fetch you a better deal.

However, you must analyze your repayment option well in advance; otherwise faulty repayment may lead to confiscation of the security by banks or the concerned lenders.
