The first is NPR's brief look into the payday loan business as a whole and the second demonstrates the wild rate at which these loans are being issued (£1.2 billion issued in 2009 and estimates of £3.5 billion by 2014). http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127220540&ps=rs http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1272205... http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5h5YQzdFD_fFbk8hxhJYGlOaTb1ig?docId=N0234131286895626812A http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5h5YQz...
