New WhatsApp Service to Report Loan Sharks

The England Illegal Money Lending Team has launched a new WhatsApp service, giving people who have been targeted by loan sharks in England a new way to access support and report illegal lending.

The WhatsApp service has been added to the list of ways that people can get in touch with the team to alert them to illegal lending activity across the country or get help and advice.

There is already a 24/7 confidential helpline (0300 555 2222), an email address, a contact form on the website via http://www.stoploansharks.co.uk , and a Live Chat facility.

Like Live Chat, the WhatsApp messaging service will be available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Messages can be sent to 07700 102773 and they will be monitored and responded to by an officer during those times. The service is discreet and the Stop Loan Sharks logo will not be visible on screen.

Contact the England Illegal Money Lending Team to report a loan shark. Call the 24 hour helpline 0300 555 2222 or complete a secure form on the website.

Breathe easier this winter!
Stop smoking: If you have COPD, smoking further damages your lungs, speeds up breathing problems, and makes your medications less effective.
Get vaccinated against flu/RSV/COVID-19 (if eligible): Cold air weakens your immune system, making it harder to fight respiratory infections, protect yourself against flu/RSV COVID-19 (if eligible) this winter. Speak to your GP about getting your winter vaccinations.
Use your inhalers the right way, everyday – Using your inhalers correctly every day helps keep your airways open, control your symptoms, and prevent flare-up
