Predatory lending is usually associated with 'loan-sharks' who trap a borrower into a circumstance where he will likely encounter difficulty in repayment. Usually, the borrower finds himself in a hole that continues to become 'deeper'.

Predatory lending is also associated with debt-bondage where the borrower's debt is sold to another party who will utilise the borrower's labour to repay the debt.
