LJ mentioned this today, just so you know – if you borrow from someone not registered and regulated by FCA and PRA and they are charging high interest rates then they could be an illegal lender or Loan Shark. 

The Illegal Money Lenders team can be contacted in confidence 24 hours a day, seven days a week: Telephone: 0300 555 2222 or Email: reportaloanshark@stoploansharks.gov.uk. SMS text message: send a text to 07860022116, beginning your message with “loan shark”. Website: www.facebook.com/stoploansharksproject
