Legal Moneylender - prepare to pay them 50% more for what you borrow

Despite claim that they are finding hard to run this business, there are more companies showing up in advertisement in the Newpaper. It is obvious that some are under the same 'boss'. My recent finding really horrifying me...

With no deduction of first payment, prepare to pay additional 6% interest. On top of that the acceptance fee rocket from 5% to 15-20%. which is 3-4 times more. Adding the interest for 5-6 weeks. It is indeed more than 50% more to pay. As such they can offer low interest which is masked inside the acceptance fee. So these legal loansharks are growing fat... Maybe should call them a loan dinosaur. I believe the illegal moneylender do not charge that high interest.

With the recent GE rallying for vote, it is surprise that no one bring up this issue. It is more surprise that such business can be run in broad daylight.

So it is inflation and hope you find this information useful.

  1. Eventually the goverment stop the licencing of the moneylenders. What will the desperado do in order to get the money? I suppose only one way out is to loan shark and you will see lots of hdb flat with colorful painting within your neighbourhood or eventually go to your door because your inconsiderate neighbour refused to pay. threatening life and all the inconvenience.
    So which one I will choose, the answer is very clear.......

  3. Well... As the legal loanshark only supply loan to the people earning 20k per annum. Such illegal moneylending act will still happened to those earning less than that. In order to repay the legal big shark... They may turn to illegal ones and the problem will remain.. But the difference now is due to the fact that it is nit easy to find illegal moneylender because they are by referral. So these legal loanshark taking all the advantage.

    Whatever choice you chose the outcome is the same...

    Hahaha.. You meant you are paying the government levy? Or supplying all of their salary?legal moneylending can be compared with A multiple billion dollar casino industries.
