Hello
I have a little information which may help anyon affected by these people. If this information has already been out on this forum, or in the monthly newsletters, I apologise. I have just finished a series of courses and talks from various bodies were given.

* Been offered cash loans without paperwork?
* Been threatened with violence because you could not pay?
* Had benefit or bank cards taken?
* Taken a loan which just keeps growing, no matter how much you pay back?

I sincerely hope that this helps someone. If you cannot use it, please copy and pass on the information. I hate these people, in the words of my old pitman dad, "They are lower than lino!"
I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.
