The loan sharks profiting from the pain of soaring prices – BBC Newsnight


"D", not his real name, has worked as an illegal moneylender for two decades, and says business has never been so good.

With no paperwork, high interest rates, and sometimes brutal consequences, there is huge risk attached to this type of borrowing.

Research shared with BBC Newsnight suggests that the potential client base for it could be expanding.
