Saw an advert on Facebook for "Payday Loans". They charge £20 per £100 borrowed. Am I right in thinking if I borrowed 2 weeks before payday then repayed the day it was due it'd represent an annual interest rate of 520%?

Yes.
For some people, it's the only way they survive.
Have you looked inside a Cash Converters (pawn brokers) lately? The places are heaving with Chavs selling/pawning their every possession.
Excellent. Does that mean there's some cheap tat on sale then?
I was looking for a car stereo, but they don't sell them (cos they is all nicked 'innit). Nearly got crushed by the queue for pay day loans and those pawning their chunky chains and hi-fi's.

That's an incentive to live within your means!! However, credit cards can be used to borrow short term and cheaply if you pay off the balance every month as I do.
