I owe £12,100 from a loan of £3,600

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Chris got a logbook loan three years ago after falling into financial difficulties. He borrowed £3,600, but ended up owing £12,100. He told 5 live's Sarah Brett and Nihal Arthanayake: "The guy that came round did explain everything in full in regards to how much I would owe and what I would need to pay back every month". But when he lost his job he got into a cycle of debt. He said the charges they put on the loan were 'insane'. This clip is from Afternoon Edition on Wednesday 30 November 2016.
