Man admits to seven year illegal lending business
A man has confessed to working as a loan shark for more than seven years.
Jagdev Singh Dhillon, 56, pleaded guilty to charges of acquiring, using or possessing criminal property and of engaging in a consumer credit business without a licence
The accused, of Nelmes Way, admitted running an illegal money lending business from his home on Honchurch road.
Dhillon was arrested during a two day multi-agency operation conducted by the Trading Standard’s illegal money lending team in conjunction with Havering council.
The operation included a search of Dhillon’s home, during which a diary was found, detailing thousands of pounds worth of loans lent to several people.
Cabinet member for public protection at Havering Council, Councillor Lesley Kelly told local media: “We are pleased with this outcome. We are working with the illegal money lending team and will do everything we can to assist in bringing these people who prey on the vulnerable residents of Havering to court.”
The accused pleaded guilty just before he was due to stand trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court. Dhillon is due to be sentenced on Friday September 2 2011.
The illegal money lending team is part of the Stop Loan Sharks Project. The government-funded project works with local authority trading standards services across the country and has secured more than 190 prosecutions for illegal money lending and related activity, leading to custodial sentences of more than 113 years.
Almost £40 million worth of illegal debt has been written off and over 16,000 victims have been helped.
