  • Payday Loan Industry Government Petition - Please Support!

    Dear All

    For anyone who has had experience of the payday loan industry this may be important. An e-petition is currently running, which if it gets 100,000 signatures will make this issue eligible for discussion in the house of commons.

    Please offer your support and join us in signing the petition here:

    http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20219

    This petition condemns the Government for continuing to delay action on regulating the high-cost credit market and calls on them to introduce caps on the total cost of credit, so that British consumers get the same protection from payday lenders, home credit companies and hire purchase agreement providers as enjoyed by others across the world.

    Given the evidence of growing numbers of UK consumers getting into debt as a result of these forms of credit we call upon the UK Parliament to act on this matter before Christmas in order to defend British consumers from the legal loan shark industry.

    Best

    I have signed it, however I think you will find that all E-Petitions require 100,000 signatures for it to get a reading in the House of Commons.

            I think we've already seen two of these fail before as parliament is already discussing the issue.....

            Have a read within parliament notes and/or google it and you'll see it was mentioned again in Lords only on Friday
            I'm the forum administrator and I look after the theme & features, our volunteers & users and also look after any complaints or Data Protection queries that pass through the forum or main website. I am extremely busy so if you do contact me or need a reply to a forum post then use the email or PM features offered because I do miss things and get tied up for days at a time!

            If you spot any spammers, AE's, abusive or libellous posts or anything else that just doesn't feel right then please report them to me as soon as you spot them at: webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk
