Loan Sharks A loan shark is an illegal money lender
A legal lender will be registered with the Office of Fair Trading. You can check if a lender is registered by contacting the Consumer Credit Register: 020 7211 8608 or visiting their website: www2.crw.gov.uk/pr

Loan sharks tend to:
Offer loans on very bad terms Charge an extortionate rate of interest Harrass people who get behind with their
payments Pressure people into borrowing more money
to repay one debt with another Suggest that borrowers will be prosecuted or
sent to prison if they don’t repay their debt – this can’t happen as they are not legally registered lenders.
