Rejected petition I want Governmet to stop loan companies charging 1294.1% Apr and advertising it.

I saw a company called QuickQuid on TV. They were charging well over 1000%+ Apr for loans. Some companies charge much more. I want the government to intervene and limit the annual percentage rate (Apr) to 100% Apr including any charges and fees as they promised.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

There is already a cap on high-cost, short-term credit (often known as payday loans). You can find out more about this here:

https://www.the-fca.org.uk/firms/price-cap-high-cost-short-term-credit

This cap is the responsibility of the Financial Conduct Authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
