Loan options with mark on ICB report

    Hi
    Bit of background first. I'm with Ulster Bank for over 20 years, and paid off 7 loans without issue. About 4 years ago I had some issues with a Tesco credit card - in short, I still owe €4000 on it. its with a debt collection agency now.
    I just got my credit report from the ICB - the outstanding credit card is on it. No other issues. I have a mortgage, no loan for anything else. My car loan was paid off 2 years ago.

    I'm looking for a loan of €2000 to fix a roof problem on my house. I'm in full time employment, but it will take me a few months to save that much. And the weather hasn't been the best, I need to get this resolved soon.
    So, if I go to the bank, I will likely get refused because of the credit card on the ICB report. What other options do I have?
    Provident will give me a loan of up to €500, with very high interest, and its not enough anyway. On their site, it does mention that people with bad credit can get a secured loan against a car or house, but it doesn't say who to get one from!

    Is there really such a thing as a secured loan?
    Are there lenders that will loan to someone with a credit history problem?
    Thanks
    Simon
