Summary
A Glasgow dad borrowed $150 for his daughter’s school trip—only to be trapped in a $1,000 debt spiral with a ruthless loan shark for nearly two years. Meanwhile, a young mom borrowed $10 for school trousers and spiraled into debt chaos as demands escalated. Both victims were rescued by Trading Standards Scotland, now using credit unions and debt advice to rebuild. Shark Free Summer warns families: summer expenses don’t have to mean danger—legit help is confidential, free, and ready. Don’t fall for loan sharks.
