        Some interesting reading Consumer Credit and Debt Management: 3 Feb 2011: House of Commons debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)

        I quite liked this part from the excellent Stella Creasey...

        The aptly named Mr Crook, who is the chief executive of Provident Financial, the largest home credit company, says that he expects a growth in his target market as a direct result of the comprehensive spending review. Who does he mean by that? He means those with poor credit histories and those with no credit histories.
