The people they target (usually?) are those with little access to money and those who have had problems in the past and yes some will be high risk but to charge such appallingly high rates of interest is pathetic, surely something should be done about it? :rolleyes:

I fall into neither of the above categories and yet received - and read with shock & awe - their personally addressed letter this morning. Goodness knows who's database I have been on that has led to this!

I agree that it is a great shame that Credit Unions are not better publicised and understood by people - then maybe the Providents of this world would find fewer customers for their small but costly loans.
