Banks urged to help borrowers who use payday lenders

[EXC]

From today's Financial Times:

The UK government has written to some of Britain’s biggest banks urging them to explore ways of helping hard-pressed customers who turn to payday lenders in a move to stem spiralling levels of debt.

A letter from the Treasury has been sent in recent weeks to a number of high street lenders and the British Bankers’ Association asking them to raise awareness of their services to help customers who might otherwise seek finance from a payday lender.

I picked the wrong day to give up glue-sniffing.

If the government weren't out to screw the poorest people maybe it would be less of a problem.
