THE CENTRAL BANK of Ireland has urged consumers to be wary of firms offering quick and easy loans over the festive period.
There has been a surge in the number of unauthorised credit firms operating in Ireland and the Central Bank continues to remind the public to think twice before committing any personal information to firms online.
Many of the unauthorised firms may appear, at first, to be legitimate and have seemingly impressive and official websites. However, many of them are involved with scams or money laundering activities.
