Island residents who've taken out payday loans are being asked for their views by the Office of Fair Trading.
The OFT's launched an online survey amid growing concern over the way moneylending firms operate.
Typically, they target people whose incomes are squeezed at the end of the month, giving short-term, unsecured cash loans, usually at high rates of interest.
