Stop Loan Sharks Week

It’s Stop Loan Sharks Week and we’re supporting the Illegal Money Lending Team to raise awareness of the dangers of loan sharks.

Did you know on average it takes people who have borrowed from a loan shark around four years to reach out for support? Borrowers may not realise their lender is a loan shark, they might feel embarrassed or ashamed. They might be afraid. Stop Loan Sharks officers are there whenever a borrower feels ready to reach out, whether it’s for support, or advice or to start an official investigation. You will get all the help you need – what you won’t get is pressure. They will go at your pace, and they’ll be there for however long it takes. They’re there whenever you’re ready.
