Make sure you know the warning signs of a loan shark. ⁠🚩There is often no paperwork provided for a loan. ⁠🚩Someone may fear the person they owe money to, and they may have been threatened if they can’t pay on time. ⁠Knowing these signs might help you, a friend, a colleague, or a family member get the help they need. If you or someone you know might be involved with a loan shark contact our team today - www.stoploansharks.co.uk #NoBlameNoShame #StopLoanSharksEngland ... See MoreSee Less

Age means nothing to a loan shark. In 2022, 22% of people we supported were over the age of 55 going against the stereotype of a loan shark only targeting younger people. Loan Sharks can come in all shapes and sizes.
