loan shark week

To coincide with Stop Loan Shark week, we want to raise awareness about illegal money lending.

The council  continues to raise awareness of the dangers of loan sharks with our collaboration with the England Illegal Money Lending Team. We encourage victims to seek help either from trusted friends or family or through our services.

We are aware of the financial difficulties many people face in the current climate. If you need help or advice about financial issues go to our cost of living support hub  - Cost of living support – Coventry City Council

Alternatively, you can access the national Stop Loan Sharks website, Call 0300 555 2222 or WhatsApp 07700 102773 for free, confidential support.’
