Default Money Loan Rip off Advert

Anyone seen the ad with a couple on the sofa who want to borrow £25000. Anyway a voice from above tells wifey to ring picturealoan (something to that effect) to get out of debt. Wifey does this and gets an £25000 agreed loan. SHe calls hubby and they both sit on the sofa smiling like a pair of prize tw*ts.
End line is its so easy then you see the small print of payments over 10-15 years which is a whopping £43000. Shafted or wat

yep...seen that one

There are adverts on our local radio for "log book loans"......I took a look at their website and the rate was 336 percent !! I'm sure there was no decimal point. now that should be outlawed !

I liked the spoof advert in Viz, for "Vorderman Loans":

"Borrow what I earn in an afternoon, and spend the rest of your miserable life paying it off."

That bitch will advertise ANYTHING

What really gets me is the telephone conversation:

"Hi, pictureloans I'd like a loan please"
"how much madam"
"£25,000 please"
"No, problem, I'm sure we can do that"
"Wow, that's fantastic, thank you.

This is how the conversation would have really went:

RING...RING, RING...RING: WELCOME TO PICTURE LOANS, IF YOU ARE CALLING ABOUT AN EXISTING LOAN PRESS 1. IF YOU ARE CALLING ABOUT A NEW LOAN PRESS 2. ....... ....... IF YOU ARE CALLING BECAUSE OF X,Y,Z PRESS 9.

"<mumble>f^^k sake!"
"Hello, yes sir, no sir, pictureloans sir" (Indian accent)
"Finally, hi, I'm calling about a loan"
"Ok come again, my name is David Smith - good weather we are having in UK today, yes?" (Indian accent)
"Eh, yeah, sure!"
"Can I take your name please sir!" (Indian accent)
"Sure, its Joyce McIntosh"
"Joyce Maclosh, can you spell your second name? (indian accent)
"M---c---I--n--t---o---s---h"
"Confirmed, macplosh!"
"FFS" <click> Duuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrr
