Dear Colleagues,

Some of your patients may find that their finances become stretched during this COVID-19 situation.

Please can you utilise the attached information to advise them of the risks of unauthorised money lenders.

The Stop Loan Sharks helpline service (0300 555 2222) remains open and fully operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is encouraged that not only victims but friends, family members and the wider community should come forward if they suspect someone is suffering at the hands of loan sharks.

Kind regards,

Primary Care Team
