Residents of Islington LBC have been urged to ‘shop a loan shark' as part of a campaign to tackle illegal money-lending.
Loan sharks who charge huge interest rates on small loans to desperate people are currently operating in the north London borough and, under the council's campaign to tackle the issue, residents can provide anonymous tips to a hotline – 0300 555 2222 – partially funded by cash confiscated from illegal lenders.
