Swimming with loan sharks

In this difficult world, loans are becoming an ever-increasing part of our lives. And some unscrupulous individuals, ever on the lookout for easy prey, will often take advantage of those who don't know any better.

One type of these people are those we call loan sharks (who actually heap shame on that animal's name), who trick the person applying for the loan into an ever-increasing spiral of larger and larger debt with tactics like bait-switching, unclear accounting and loan flipping.

To avoid being eaten alive by these monsters, it's always a wise idea to consult with a legal advisor and ask for an explanation for terms you don't understand.
