The pandemic economy is forcing some Nova Scotians to turn to unregistered payday lenders online who resort to harassment, intimidation and name-calling when customers fall behind on payments, says a credit counsellor.
John Eisner, president and CEO of Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada, said most of his recent clients are struggling with short-term loans from online lenders.
The loans average between $800 and $900, he said, with most people borrowing from different companies. When you re desperate, people will take the money. It s easy to access, said Eisner.
