Message from Stop Loan Sharks

Stop Loan Sharks has highlighted concerns that illegal money lenders may be operating locally. These individuals often appear friendly at first, but they can trap people in a cycle of increasing debt, threats, and intimidation.
You might be dealing with a loan shark if:

The loan was offered informally or without paperwork

You’re being pressured, threatened, or intimidated

The amount you owe keeps increasing even after you’ve paid

Your bank card, passport, or other valuables have been taken as “security”

You feel scared or unable to stop making payments
