As the cost of living bites harder, access to regulated and approved lending is getting tougher, loan sharks are getting smarter, the number of people using them in England which is currently 1.1 million (a 400% increase in the last 10 years) and this is estimated to rise to 10 million within the next 3 years, so the more we know about it, then the more we can hopefully stop it spreading and also help those being affected by it,

On-line talk called Illegal Money Lending – A Basic Understanding. This new talk will provide attendees with an insight into;

• What makes a loan shark illegal,
• How they operate,
• How borrowers are affected by loan sharks,
• The barriers that prevent borrowers from making a disclosure and how we can help to overcome them,

• Why any disclosure needs to be reported and how to do it,
• And most importantly …….. what happens next,
