Er! so how do I go about doing that then?Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostThe sort of people who use these facilities would not be allowed an overdraft, probably wouldn't even be allowed a bank account.

Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostSaw 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%?
