Martin posted about loan sharks recently.
This report on a violent money lender really brings home the huge difficulties faced by people for whom even the Provident is not an option.

Oh, good. Maybe the Sword of Justice will fall on others in the future. And may it be swift and terrible. But also deserving.Any help, opinions, views I may hold those are my own. Respect them as you would expect the same in return. Offered freely, is gleaned from a lifetime of experiences, knowledge gaining. Passed on to benefit others. I may be direct, ask you questions but those are to help you. Up to you if you choose to take it. I won't judge you either way.

Unfortunately, I see a lot of it round the area I now live. Which is a really stark contrast to where I was before. A completely different world, literally. But I am used to it now, took me ages to settle down, realize I wasn't going anywhere for a while. Anyway, enough with the diatribe. Opens your eyes a little. Not that I never knew about how life is and can be for some, but it is different 'knowing' and living. And you see a lot of things going on around you that people do to get by, rightly or wrongly.
The leaflets never stop through the letterbox or letters from people like Providant, buy your house for cash and so on.
Thought about being dishonest one day, saying I owned this house (which I don't) and selling it just like that for the cash, leaving the country never to be seen again and fulfilling myself in seeing the world outside the UK.
But ... this area is the sort this swine as reported thrives upon whilst living in a luxury lifestyle. Seen what seemed to be loan sharks collecting at doorways, little black books out, taking payments. Parasitic isn't the word.Any help, opinions, views I may hold those are my own. Respect them as you would expect the same in return. Offered freely, is gleaned from a lifetime of experiences, knowledge gaining. Passed on to benefit others. I may be direct, ask you questions but those are to help you. Up to you if you choose to take it. I won't judge you either way.
