25/09/08     Andrew Hagger warns on five lethally expensive loans as regular High St credit dries up for those without “perfect 10” histories

1,355 per cent APR on pay day loans signals borrowing madness


SHOCKINGLY EXPENSIVE borrowing options could be all that is left open to the credit history-challenged – especially as we go into the most expensive time of the year, warns Moneynet.co.uk’s Andrew Hagger.

Hagger has identified five of the most toxic borrowing options which should be avoided at all costs:
  • Pay day loans
  • Log book loans
  • Credit card cheques
  • Credit card cash advances
  • Unauthorised overdrafts
“As the global financial crisis deepens and borrowing options continue to dry up, the temptation to grab at anything to ease cashflow problems is understandable, but the exorbitant interest rates involved will only lead to deeper debt,” he warns.
