There has been a lot of adverts on lately for a company called Lending Stream.
It does exactly what it says on the tin, short term loans especially for people with iffy credit {where have we heard that before amigo's!!!}
Not surprisingly the interest is eye watering, an example is borrow £300 over six months pay back £578 that's almost 100% profit and providing you don't miss a payment.
During the advert it says don't borrow from that slimy toad down the pub, the only difference between the slimy toad and L/S is the latter won't come round and break your legs for none payment......other than that it's exactly the same.
Looked at the reviews for L/S on line and a good % of them singing it's praises are what I'd refer to as "rent a review", people to whom companies pay to put in good reviews convincing the gullible that it's a brilliant company.

Even as a young lass i never agreed with loans still don't. I understand some might need them desperately though. My moto was always if I can't buy it out right I'll wait until I can.
I married at 20years old and we put a deposit on a terraced house that plus back then we paid rental for TV's and washing machines were the only loans we had.
We both worked full time and saved for items in our home, when we had the cash we bought what we wanted.
The only winner in loans are the people whose business it is.
