Quote ="EW for PM"Ok ...cards on the table here- my wife works for Provident.
Yes, the interest rates are high but many of their customers do not have a bank account, many still rely on a bloke collecting small amounts ever week.
Loads of customers and I do mean loads default on payment immediately and the loan is never paid back.
It is sad that a company like Provident has to exist, but they are ethical and they keep many people away from the real evil
b......s out there.
They have been the best, most supportive sponsor we have had and long may that continue.'"
I personally don't see an issue with Provident primarily due to the fact that they have been around for donkeys years, are a local business and actually put back into the community that supports it, hence the Bulls sponsorship. The likes of Wonga et al have given pay day lenders a bad name by quite frankly extracting the wee wee. Didn't Wonga sponsor Newcastle and one of their players refused to have it on his shirt? Maybe that's why Bullman/Bullboy taped over theirs!
