Now Soopah, youre being a little bit unfair there. You can get the rate as low as 1575.6%, bargain!

In fairness they are very short term loans

They just had on the TV here of people loosing all their money because they not only joined a "new online bank" but stuck all their money in it. And of course, its fake!

Who on earth would go put all their money in a bank they have never heard of? I mean WTF?

 :mutley:

cant believe they get away with this stuff

IIRC there is also some company selling electrical equipment on a hire purchase agreement with a silly APR - their re-payment solution is to fit a coin box mechanism to the power lead - chav has to stick in a quid a day otherwise he/she cant watch the trisha show.... Said chavs dont really notice the effect of sticking in a quid a day as opposed to paying some monthly fee etc... or rather they perhaps do in the long term however it does seem that TV  is such an important feature in a chavs life that theyll ensure they still stick a quid in the box.
