Stop Loan Sharks Wales

Stop Loan Sharks Wales Stop Loan Sharks Wales supports victims of illegal money lenders, more commonly known as loan sharks. Loan sharking is a criminal offence.

Illegal money lenders operate without a licence, often targeting vulnerable people. How would you know if you or someone you know was involved with a loan shark?

-Most loan sharks start out friendly, but their behaviour changes when payments are missed.
-Few loan sharks advertise, and are often heard of by word of mouth.
-Most loan sharks offer little or no paperwork
-Quite often take cash cards/

post office cards and pin numbers as collateral for loans.
-Many loan sharks use intimidation, threats and violence to enforce the debt. REMEMBER if you have borrowed from a loan shark you have NOT committed a crime, they have.

Courage isn’t always loud.

Sometimes it’s the quiet strength to leave everything behind—
and the bravery to ask for help along the way. 💛

This Refugee Week, we honour those rebuilding their lives and remind ourselves that seeking support is an act of courage too.

Dyw dewrder ddim bob amser yn uchel.

Y cryfder tawel i adael sy’n ddewr weithiau —
a'r dewrder i ofyn am help. 💛

Yn ystod Wythnos Ffoaduriaid, rydym yn anrhydeddu'r rhai sy'n ailadeiladu eu bywydau ac yn atgoffa ein hunain bod gofyn am gymorth yn ddewr hefyd.

Not all financial pressure comes from strangers. Sometimes it comes from the people we least expect – our friends or family.

If someone you know has lent you money and is pressuring you to pay back more and more, this could be a sign something isn’t right. It’s okay to pause, step back, and ask questions.

Reach out for a quiet, confidential chat.
