37. Stop Loan Sharks with Cath Wohlers

Money Mondays

With ‘Stop Loan Sharks’ approaching their 20 year anniversary, we invited Cath Wohlers on to the show to tell us what a loan shark is, how they operate and what to do if you’ve entered into business with a non-legitimate lender.

‘Stop Loan Sharks’ investigates and prosecutes illegal money lenders and provides support for borrowers in the UK - This year alone they have helped with the confiscation of over £1.5 million from loan sharks

If you have borrowed from a loan shark or are worried about someone else, they’re here to help and keep you safe.

This episode also features the testimony of Matthew who received help from ‘Stop Loan Sharks’ after becoming involved with an illegitimate lender
