Petition interest rates - reintroduce usury laws

More details

Introduce laws to limit interest rates charged by banks, Lenders and financial institutions. The max that any bank or lender can charge should be no more than 10% above the Bank of England base rate.

Interest rates of over 3000% charged by banks and other lenders are a national disgrace and on a par with loan sharks. That the government allows such rates shows how morally corrupt they are
