Enjoy the profit while you can. The day is rapidly approaching in which your industry will at least be seriously limited and regulated, and at best will be forced out of business all together. Many states have taken action to regulate or ban pay day lending, and many more are considering similar legislation or considering strengthening their existing regulations.
This is the amusing thing about people wanting to regulate us and shut us down. Do you honestly believe that if we are shut down, the demand from our customers will just magically go away? There is a reason we have been here as long as we have, PEOPLE NEED US. And dont think for one minute that if we are regulated to the point of non-profit that any of us will stick around.
The only time our loan equals 700-1000% apr is when consumers pay on the same loan for a year. If you pay these loans back on your first due date it will cost you $30. $30 to borrow $100 is not that outlandish. However cusumers these days dont read contracts, and BAM they pay 5 or 6 finance charges and the next thing you know here we are. You dont pay your loan and we are the bad guy. NO ONE HOLDS A GUN TO OUR CUSTOMERS HEADS AND FORCES THEM TO TAKE THESE LOANS. THEY COME TO US BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO. If you do get rid of us what will you do for money? The bank? Credit is probably to bad. Family? Either they can't afford to loan to you or that avenue has been exhausted. So I ask where do payday loan customers go? Like us or not, we serve a valuable service. Payday loans help drive economy. Where do you think the money is spent? Continue to rant and rave about regulating us and shutting us down. But, try to imagine what happens when the customers that use us to buy their groceries or unexpected expenses can no longer do that.
I know no matter what I say in this forum will not change any of the bleeding heart liberals that frequent this site. However, we are much better alternative to taking hard earned money out of honest tax payers pockets to pay for more welfare programs that weaken and disgrace this great country.
