The sort of people who use these facilities would not be allowed an overdraft, probably wouldn't even be allowed a bank account.
Remember too a lot of them borrow £320 and then don't pay back anything.

It does still dumbfound me that people are thick enough to take out these loans and can't think one month ahead 
What is even more confusing is seemingly more intelligent people running a permanent credit card debt and paying out 30%pa on quite a few grand |
