The England Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT) is the government body behind Stop Loan Sharks. The team was set up in 2004 to investigate and prosecute illegal money lenders while protecting those who have borrowed money from a loan shark.
Since launch, the England IMLT has supported over 32,00 people and written off over £91.6 million worth of illegal debt. It has secured 427 successful prosecutions of loan sharks, leading to 609 years in prison.
