Beware of Loansharks

Many people are unable to obtain money loans from conventional sources because they are not homeowners and therefore have no security and are considered to be high risk by lenders. This is often where the loanshark or illegal moneylender comes onto the scene with extortionate interest rates and worse, possible harassment of the borrower.

The loanshark is an unlicensed moneylender, who preys on the weakest and most vulnerable members of the community. It is because of this, that we have installed a FREE LOANSHARK HOTLINE.

If you are having problems with loansharks, or you are concerned about a loanshark operating in your area, call us for FREE and CONFIDENTIAL advice on:-
