Illegal Money Lending

NASMA are working with the Illegal Money Lending Team to conduct some research looking at the affect of illegal money lending on students.

At present there is no data related to this subject, so initially we want to get a baseline to work from. In order for us to do this we are conducting two surveys - one for staff working in universities and colleges, and one for students.

If you are a student, whether you have been affected by a loan shark or not we would appreciate 2 minutes of your time to complete this very short online survey.

If you are concerned about illegal money lending practices in your area, or have been affected by a loan shark, the following contact details may be of use:
