I am trying to persuade my neighbour that she doesn't NEED a loan from Greenwoods at the moment. If she really wanted the money it wouldn't take her long to put the £200 aside that she needs indtaed of paying Greenwoods 399% interest :eek: . But she can't see it, she needs the money NOW.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0

Oh dear - is there really something so desperate that 399% is worth paying?Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0

it beggers belief that these interest rates are in existence and are not against the law!0

...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
My sister used to collect for these people and she said that customers would borrow for silly stuff like a holiday deposit or to buy a new wardrobe.
She ended up giving it up in the run up to christmas cos it wasn't worth the hassle. People didn't want to pay it back or it was rpeated calls to peoples house with it being really obvious that they were in but just not answering the door.
Plus in January, cos xmas is over with, the commission from selling loans is really rubbish. She was told to expect to make approx £27 a weekOfficial DFW nerd no 551 - proud to be dealing with my debts
