Nobody is forced to use those kind of companies you know.

No but its OK for a RL club to profit from these kind of companies

bradfords new slogan: run up your debts as you eat your curry.

So what?

Really? On their website the max APR for a loan is 1065%, not 4000. Not that APR is relevant for a short term loan.
For a short term loan company they seem a more responsible one than the likes who offer 4000% APR loans. Plus they own the Vanquis credit cards.
They are filling a gap in the market providing credit and loans to those who can't get them, at a far lower rate than their flashy rivals. They're a FTSE 250 company who've just invested over £1m in to a recently stricken rugby league club. Why on gods green earth are you portraying this as a negative? Which companies do you consider acceptable to sponsor rugby league clubs?

Only in rugby league.

Thats why RL isn't making much money. We struggle to attract sponsorship as it is, narrowing it down to "sponsors that look nice" isn't going to help get money into the sport. The company does nothing illegal, no one forces the public to go to them, it is their CHOICE. If you wanting a squeaky clean company that doesn't exploit people or rip people off then thats most sponsorships down the drain!

Don't remember much of a fuss when Blackpool or Newcastle signed mega deals with similar companies.

Only in RL would we moan about a massive sponsorship deal.

i wonder if they're offering bradford better loan facilities than the bank

They're paying them £300k a year over the next four years to be their main sponsor. Didn't you read the release?

just cos its not been announced doesn't mean it isnt happening

the Guardian.co.uk tels the amount they are charging in interest, or watch BBC 10pm on Wednesday when the man who works for them tels how much they charge, but who cares its only the people on £6 per hour, they wont effect us, i would rather my team where sponsored by Durex, at least they do some good :

Riiiiiight.

No it doesn't. It mentions how much APR payday loans companies charge. Not how much this company charges. Go on their website and try and get a small, short term loan for 4000%, it's not possible.

But hey, let's just stick to beer and fags companies, they don't hurt anyone...
