No MSE article on Payday loans?

malcolmffc

I've always found it surprising that there is barely any mention on MSE of payday loans (other than the odd news story.) There is no mention of them in the cards and loans section, or debt crisis guides.

I'd have thought they would be well worth their own article, warning people of the dangers and also advice on what to do when they get into trouble. Yes, anyone taking out a PDL is being incredibly foolish, but many people start turning to MSE after they have already made their mistakes.

Thoughts?

They do get mentioned in the debt free area but only as part of the debt free threads.
