STOP LOAN SHARKS!
(Read until 28th February 2025)
Here is a message from our friends at Citizens Advice Havant.
It is a good idea to be aware of Loan Sharks, and to know the signs that could help protect you and your loved ones.
Loan sharks often operate without proper paperwork and use threats to control their victims.
They may pretend to be a friend and say that they’re willing to help you out, and that you can sort all that repayment stuff out on another day.
Let’s stay vigilant, and if you think you or someone you know is involved with a loan shark, contact Stop Loan Sharks England today at 0300 555 2222, that number again 0300 555 2222.
