Stop Loan Sharks Week 2026: 11 -17 May

money without proper authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority

borrowers. They set their own terms, charge what they want, and stack the
game against you from the very start.

look like a trusted friend, a neighbour, another parent at the school gates or
someone recommended by family. But behind the friendly avatar, is

it can feel like an easy option. But once you’ve pressed ‘start’, the game has

hand can turn into intimidation, threats or even violence. And in real life,
there’s no pause or exit button, just constant pressure and fear.
Knowing the warning signs can help you recognise when something isn’t
right. You could be dealing with a loan shark if:
