Oh good grief! A few months ago I was bombarded with emails asking me if I wanted to buy cheap viagra! This week I am getting 5 a day asking me if I want a payday loan!
It does annoy me as I am sure it is very tempting for people who are really struggling and it's a slippery slope.
I spend most of my time deleting emails at present!!

I get them as well although they do drop into my spam inbox. I just delete anything in there.
I know how people are tempted - my daughter has been one of them but I think she is sorted now!

I never get them thankfully. I wouldn't even send them to spam - just hit the delete button.
Lesley, her fiance has sorted her out. I hope she has learned her lesson.

every other advert on tv seems to be about payday loans - must be extremely tempting for some and most likely would lead to future financial difficulties.

It certainly will - I'm fed up of seeing them! I particularly dislike the one for Wonga - those old lady puppets!! There is something not nice about them.

All there are Trying to do - it make their company seems like an upmarket Loan company,and payday lending a socially acceptable activity, when it all they are is a "Payday Loan company" with an APR of 4214%

It's the puppets - there's something not nice about them at all! Nothing agains the senior generation - not far off being one of them myself!!
These companies are all the same - prey on the vulnerable and then start loading the interest on when you can't pay.
Let's face it, you have to be desperate to go there in the first place and they know that.

Have to be honest and say I cringe when I see the APR. Just seen a new ad today which is much cheaper with a 69% APR!!!
