Have you seen Payday loan ads on kids' tv channels?

Hi everyone

You may have seen our recent poll, asking Do your kids nag you about payday loans?.

If you've seen them on kids TV please post to let us know which channels you've seen them on and when.

Thank you!

Andrea :)

    Even if one did appear on TV during "kid's afternoon" (which I for the record would disagree with if it happened), is it a massive issue? (A) Will it interest them, (B) Are Pay Loaners giving out to under 10's and (C) they appear during family movies on channel five and ITV.

    They are bad enough Andrea without scaremongering.

    I assume the issue is kids wanting x and when parents say they're skint the kids say why not go to Wonga?

    Children always have and always will try 'pester power' to get something they want... it's the ideal time for parents to use it as a chance to explain the facts of financial life.

    It isn't good for a child to always get everything they want... so why should one of these ads make parents more likely to take a loan?
