PAYDAY MAYDAY!
Is this the begining of the end for some payday lenders? I hope so! Payday loans and payday lenders themselves have rarely been out of the media in the last few days. At Citizens Advice we are gathering information about payday lenders and how they operate. If you have ever taken out a payday loan, would you please help us by taking part in our short survey. We hope to bring about change by using this information and feeding it to the Office of Fair Trading......thanks for your help.
