The apr is that high because they're intended for very short loan times, up to 30 days. Borrow £100, pay back £130 etc. The trouble is there's the option to extend the loan when you come to payday and find you can't pay... meaning you keep paying that interest every month!
I thank my lucky stars I'm not in a position to need such a loan but, if I was, I'd rather use a company like that than a loan shark. They don't try to hide their interest rate, to be fair.Don't stress, relax, let life roll off your backs. Except for death and paying taxes, everything in life is only for now...

Hell's teeth
Borrow £100 for under a month and pay back £130 :eek:No longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
Oh my word :eek:
How scary is that, the problem is some people will be so skint they will see it as a good option and a short term loan, but these things very rarely end up short term I guess.....0 -

I know its not nice but it is business.
Would you risk lending £100 to someone you didn't know (who obviously has credit problems if they've come to you) for a return of less than £30 on your risk?
Sadly there must be a call for such a service or else it wouldn't exist.Don't stress, relax, let life roll off your backs. Except for death and paying taxes, everything in life is only for now...
