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
