Don't laugh but I've saved the E-mail cos I just KNOW no-one will believe me! :rotfl:
Don't get me wring I appreciate they are very short term loans but they charge £25 for each £100 you borrow - so over a matter of say a couple of weeks that means it's an astronomical APR... I just couldn't believe my eyes to start with! Gotta love 'em!
As you say... couple grand and set up payday loan company and employ a couple of toughie guys to "collect" (obviously paying in banana's as no brain required if other DCAs are anything to go by...) and you're on the road to riches! :eek:DFW Nerd #025DFW no more!

I saw that on their website the other day.
I was just checking for another thread on here about high APRs, but it was still.

I'm guessing so... Tell you what I'll do you a special deal! I'll lend you up to £750 till payday but only charge you 1275%APR... that's cutting my own throat that is! (Sorry blatant Terry Pratchett reference there)DFW Nerd #025DFW no more! Officially debt free 2017 - now joining the MFW's!
