Money Lending


Hi Latchford West

 

Money lenders can take the form of family members, friends, work colleagues, associates and strangers. Sometimes it maybe appropriate, I mean it's only £20 from my Auntie right? Paid off when the wages come in. 

 

And whilst there maybe nothing wrong, one persons Auntie or Uncle, or Work Colleague or associate or stranger that has been introduced by someone you know and trust, is another persons loan shark.

 

What Is A Loan Shark? 

If you can answer yes to one or more of these questions you might be borrowing from a loan shark: 

  • Did they offer you a cash loan? 

  • Did they not give you paperwork? 

  • Did they add huge amounts of interest or APR to your loan? 

  • Have they threatened you? 

  • Are there any penalties if you do not pay?

  • Are you scared of people finding out? 

  • Have they taken your bank card, benefit card, passport, watch or other valuables from you? 

  •
