Saw an advert on Facebook for "Payday Loans". They charge £20 per £100 borrowed. Am I right in thinking if I borrowed 2 weeks before payday then repayed the day it was due it'd represent an annual interest rate of 520%?

For some people, it's the only way they survive.
Have you looked inside a Cash Converters (pawn brokers) lately? The places are heaving with Chavs selling/pawning their every possession. -

That's an incentive to live within your means!! However, credit cards can be used to borrow short term and cheaply if you pay off the balance every month as I do.Comment
