    one heck of a rip off as are these payday lending companies.

    they are not helping their clients but forcing them into more debt and poverty

    I heard somewhere that they are meant to be the fastest growing retailer in the uk.
    Scandalous!

    They were, even the bookies couldn’t keep up apparently!

    One of the guys here locally does rental machines and I keep telling him they should take BH on full on but, people think the deal from these legal robbers is better. Apparently it’s “cheaper” weekly or something like that and the credit checking a bit less rigorous by BH.

    So just as the report says, people that really can’t afford the gear they get, get it.

    Pretty grim.

    Come the revolution the law will deal with them. Wonga had their wings clipped, soon Brighthouse won’t glow so brightly.

    Milliband makes for a lousy reporter don’t you think? But at least now he’s got a proper job.
