Doorstep lenders overcharge whilst people try to stop repossession

It was revealed today that there are some doorstep lenders charging in excess of 500% apr on loans. Lender’s like Provident Financial, who is probably the largest doorstep lender, commented by saying it is “a fair and transparent lender”.

Barnardo’s, the children’s charity, have called for these doorstep lenders to be regulated in the hope that the extortionate interest rates can be a thing of the past.
