many lenders as burger bars on our high streets, but the Competition Commission has revealed that there are still doorstep loan sharks preying on people that have no other way of getting credit. There are reports that they are charging up to 1,000% interest per year for loans - the average is 177% - still incredibly high. Thankfully, the Competition Commission is finally making moves to stop these practices.

It's about time, as it is reported that as { mortgage quotations } many as two million Britons are taking out loans with these companies, usually because they have a very low income and the high street lenders won't give them a second glance. They are forced to get credit at extortionate interest rates because they have no other way of getting it, and in our opinion, there's no way that rates of 177% can be justified.

The Commission has a few plans up its sleeve to bring the doorstep { life insurance } loan companies to justice. Firstly, they will force them to clearly state to the customer how much the loan will cost them. The idea is that if the borrower realises that the £100 borrowed will swiftly turn into £200 to pay back, they will think twice. Also if these lenders don't start dropping their rates considerably, the Commission has threatened to set a maximum legal limit, so if they go above it they will be committing a criminal offence.

Hopefully the home credit lenders will sit up and take notice, and stop preying on those who have no other options.
