I know this has been discussed before.
I know its a business for Sharky, and we are lucky to get it for free.

but...

I spotted an ad for "Provident Personal credit" at thte top of the screen, where they offer an APR of 189%.
Yes, that ONE-HUNDRED and 89%.

Is this really the sort of company T2W should be keeping?
Whats the difference between them and loan-sharks?

Loan sharks are much more people oriented. They will give you the face to face contact a big company just can't give you. AND loan sharks usually keep the interest to about 100%. I think we know who the better deal comes from.

Companies like that should be banned from trading by the govt. it's robbery.

Get people who've got no money so can't get a loan anywhere else and lend them money at an obscene rate so that they'll never be able to pay the loan off. Thiefs!
