Payday
Loans Used Heavily During Recession
|
|
| A
number of people are applying for payday loans
as they are spending all their cash before their wages come
through. During the last few months, the quantity of such loans
has greatly increased. Service providers usually charge high
levels of interest on the products, said the Fair Investment
Company, people are being hit even harder in the pocket. Treasury
spokesman at the Liberal Democrats suggested that the trend
confirms the present economic conditions are having a severe
impact on society, something that may be news to those with
personal loans. It "highlights the problems stemming from
the credit crunch and unsustainable levels of personal debt
in the UK," he asserted. The news source added that on
a typical £110 payday loan from Payday UK, a £127
fee is tagged on, while the APR is 1,355%. In related news,
Citizens Advice in Scotland this week said that there is a growing
debt problem in the country. |
