What's the highest APR you've ever seen advertised?

Postby colm_mcm » Tue Dec 29, 2009 11:36 pm

I think I may have a winner here:

Typical 2356% APR.

That's right, 2 thousand 3 hundred and 56 percent!

Saw an ad for them on one of the Sky channels, thought I was seeing things.

aye had seen that before..thought I misread, then it was on again on either dave or discovery last night...it's even written in extra large letters..

I'm genuinely surprised there's a place for a company like that...legalized loansharks..

As they also say in their ad "it's not a long term financial solution". Understatement of the year or what. :lol:
I think watch dog over in the uk some years ago did an investigation in a company charging these outragous amounts. They were going to council estates and disadvantaged areas dropping off differenct catalogues then a few hours later dropping in their fliers for thier loans. And people were buying into these scams.

Obviously they declined to comment and that was the end of that!
