    It is worth speaking to the local office, but it does sound like you shouldn't of taken the loan.
    Don't blame the agents, they are only doing there jobs.
    It annoys me people who blame PPC, they don't force loans on people, they see an easy route to money, all charges are explained.

    Personally, I've found they[they being lenders of this ilk] like to use agents who are local to the area, so they people just think' oh, it' s lovely [insert name here], they're just helping me out', they don't think, 'oh look, here come the people who prey on other peoples poverty.....'

  • In all fairness, where else are people who use PPC going to go?
    They help people that mainstream lenders won't.
    People of all incomes use their loans.
    Speaking to someone would definitely help the OP.
    I wasn't trying to upset anyone, just seems people are quick to blame a company who they don't really know much of, just the bad press (like most companies) get.
