Talk:Moneylender

Title "Home Credit"
I see that at some time past the title of this article has changed from Home Credit to Moneylender. This change has been made by someone who has no knowledge of the UK business of small loans that are collected, normally weekly from customers homes by an agent.

The contents of this article does not describe the general subject of moneylending, but rather the niche product called home credit. Most UK moneylending is done through financial institutions, and usually repaid on a monthly basis through payments using the bank clearing system.

Unless there are objections, the title should be changed. In addition a new article should be started giving information on moneylending in general. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bowday (talk • contribs) 14:50, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Money changers
I noticed that some people have used the term moneylenders as a synonym for money changers, perhaps in an antisemitic sense, as a reference to Jesus and the money changers. ADM (talk) 03:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Merge to the "loan sharks" article
Couldn't this article be merged to the loan shark article? I mean AFAICT any articles that link to this seem to use the term interchangeably with "loan sharks" e.g. the history of credit unions article. What do you think? 14:43, 27 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.40.64.34 (talk)
