No. Credit (letting you borrow money) can only be given by using a contract. Signing the contract means you promise to give back the money you borrowed, and sometimes pay more money. You must be 18 years old or more to enter into these contracts.
If you think you are in debt and you are under 18, you can contact the Financial and Consumer Rights Council for information on finding a financial counsellor.
