SVP warns of lenders preying door to door

MONEY LENDERS are knocking on doors with cash in their hands preying on people desperate for cash in the run-up to Christmas.

St Vincent de Paul said it is extremely concerned by the targeting of vulnerable people by such lenders.

Stuart Kenny, spokesman for the charity, said these lenders, operating legally, were targeting disadvantaged areas. He said they are in the business of “seduction” and turn up at houses with “fistfuls of cash”.
