    I hate these illegal money lending scum preying on the weakest in our society. They will probably get away with a slap on the wrist as well.


    I wonder how much they charge

    In all seriousness whatever setup they had will never be the same again when CAB get involved. They will go through their Assets and incomes with serious scrutiny and confiscate every cent above what they legally earned. Considering 99% of them are on Welfare id say thats basically everything thats not well hidden.

    As well as that they will be heavily monitored. The Guards have obviously realised that if they dont crack down now they will be dealing with a new stab city. The Dundons 2.0.

    Exactly, When Cab get involved it usually signals the start of the end ,And they just don't go away. so hopefully this is the start of a nightmare for these people and a new beginning for their victims.

    End for them but not the end for the victims. If they are stupid enough to borrow money off them they probably dont have much of a future anyway.

    Dont assume they where somehow forced to take the loans. That's not what happened.

    Nobody wins in this situation.

    These statements are the biggest load of s**t ,
    Yes the loan sharks may not have force money on these people but a hell of a lot of other factors did force their hand .For a lot of people loan sharks are their only option .Yes I know drug and alcohol have played a big part with some of the people that borrow money but not with everyone involved ,
    I have seen first hand with friends and neighbours what life can and will be like once you get involved with these scum but calling them stupid and belittling their future is totally out of order.

    Not really. Assuming this is a case of good vs Evil is just naive.

    People borrowing money because no regulated institution would even dream of loaning money to them.

    What person borrows 40k cash off a traveller to buy a house in Ardmore Park? Anybody with half a brain wouldnt borrow a tenner off them never mind enough to buy a house. You tell me a word apart from stupid that sums up a person like that.

    Desperate.
    to provide for family
    to provide Clothes
    to afford school uniforms
    to afford school books
    to provide roof over their heads
    to pay the bills
    and many many more reasons to be desperate.

    You do realise it's loan sHark, not loan sTark, right?

    As in marine predators, rather than comic book heroes, is the intended mental image!

    Thank you so much for been so diligent on this thread /forum ,God only knows what type of level we could sink too without your commitment to the cause .

    Thank you again , And no it's not an anal pastime like some would say ,its a level of commitment that far to little people show these days and should be admired and applauded.

    Theres 1/2 million in the same boat.

    We dont drive the blackmarket by illegally borrowing off the pikeys. Dont keep pretending that their just these little innocent victims. Its supply and demand. Someone has to buy the drugs as well as sell them.

    What they get out of the post office on a Thursday with the other 1.2 mill should be more than enough.

    It's not a spelling mistake though? (Unless he made the same one twice in quick succession!) Anyway, sorry if I upset the apple tart... ;)

    Soft sentences in this country - no deterrent. What we need is something like the 'Three Strikes' as a previous poster mentioned. Or how about they reopen Spike Island and have them all down there breaking rocks. I'l bet we would see some changes then.
