The cost-of-living crisis is forcing more people into debt and into the hands of illegal money lenders. Christmas just around the corner will add yet more pressure for people to take out loans and fall into the hands of Loan Sharks.
To help us recognize people who might have become victims to illegal money lenders and be confident to start conversations, Stockport Council have arranged a couple of short online sessions with Joanne Hardley from the Birmingham Illegal Money Lending Team.
It will cover the following content:
What is a loan shark?
How do they operate?
What tactics do they use?
What questions to ask clients
Protect yourself and loved ones
How to support victims
Find out what help is available
How to borrow money safely
The sessions will include
-45 min presentation
-15min Q&A
-15min space for conversations of how we as individuals and organisations can use and create opportunities to talk about Loan Sharks and make a change
