Petition Cap the amount of interest Pay Dayloans can charge.

More details

A cap on how much Pay Day Loan or any small/short term loan companies can charge.

I.e. Satsuma Loans charges 794% Interest and many others are incredibly high. I.e. borrowing £1000 from this company alone would incur £7940 on top of the original amount borrowed. Legalised loan sharks.

A maximum of 40% of interest is more than enough.
This cap should be implemented to stop people getting into debt or even further inescapable debt.
