Just saw advertised on SKY news channel.
Honesty in advertising but taking advantage of people.
Loan sharks offer better.

Another person who doesn't understand APR ? Was it for a Payday loan by chance ?
That would almost certainly fall foul of the Consumer Credit Act on extorionate credit bargain grounds, I would have thought. What was the product?
From their site
Your loan's finance charge will be between £10 to £14.75 per £50 borrowed per pay period

So between 20-29% flat rate then ? Hardly extortionate is it. Using an Annual equivalent figure for short term lending is pointless.
Where people get caught out:
Borrow £100 quid
Service £25 between now and the next pay day.
= 125 owed
Pay back £80 with £45 left
Money goes towards £25 service first so whole amount not paid
Next pay cheque owe £45 + 25 = 70
Pay back 70
Two months 100 borrowed....150 paid back.
