Yep. By the time you're in a position where you have to borrow money at >100% APR, you've lost control of your finances. I think people shouldn't be allowed to borrow at that rate. Instead the person's debts should be frozen/cleared, and a financially competent person should be put in control of the financially wrecked person until they can sort out whatever issue led to them being in so much debt.

There is something to be said for having the financial equivalent of sectioning somebody for mental health issues.
