The Consumer Council launched its new education resource ‘Understanding Payday Loans’ as part of World Consumer Rights Day today at Springvale Learning Centre. This comes against a backdrop of a 42 per cent increase in high interest lending since 2007 . ‘Understanding Payday Loans’ is the first consumer education resource in the UK that will help consumers get to grips with how payday loans operate and the costs associated with this type of borrowing. The lesson plans are primarily designed for adult education tutors and advice staff who are working with consumers in the community and voluntary sectors.
