Well I was rather suprised,

www.wonga.com/

You can borrow money short term from them at 2689% APR. I know it's the convenience that you're paying for but that figure is scary!

Yes - I saw the advert on TV and before the APR figure flashed up my thought was "what's the interest rate?". Yikes!

To some people, paying back £525.48 after 30 days maybe doesn't sound that much worse than paying back the £400 borrowed.
