Pretty Penny Loan Advertisement on Neighbourly
There has been a sponsored post on Neighbourly recently advertising a company called Pretty Penny Loans. According to their website, they specialize in short term loans up to $500, and charge 1% per day. In addition to this 365% annual interest rate, they charge a $64 loan origination fee as well as a $24 account set up fee. So if you borrowed $100 for a single day, your would owe them $189.
This is predatory behavior, similar to mafia loan sharking. I am saddened that a website that is supposed to promote positive neighbourhoods would stoop to advertising a company that hurts the most vulnerable people.
If Neighbourly continues to be unneighbourly by continuing to promote shady businesses such as this one, I will deactivate my account and strongly recommend to all of my friends to follow suit.
Accepting advertising from companies such as Pretty Penny is against the primary values put forward by Neighbourly (promote strong and vibrant neighbourhoods).
Best regards,
