About

Stop Loan Sharks investigate and prosecute loan sharks. Our official title is the England Illegal Money Lending Team. We are the lead organisation in England with the power to prosecute loan sharks and illegal money lenders.

What we do

The England Illegal Money Lending Team investigates and prosecutes illegal money lenders while supporting those who have borrowed money from a loan shark. Illegal Money Lending Teams in Scotland and Wales ensure the entire UK is working to stop loan sharks.

Each team is comprised of specialist investigators and Liaise Officers who have previously worked for the police, trading standards, and debt advice services.
