    The title makes no sense whatsoever.
    It would make sense only if £100 and 30 days were mentioned along with £156.

    "Up to seven and half times" makes even less sense.
    One can borrow £50 from Wonga for 1 day for 40p.
    Even £5 daily fee is 12.5 times more than 40p.

    I wonder who has done this 'new research'rolleyes.gif and how much it cost.
