Default Hi- this is from the dummy in TX w/ 17 PDL's
I have 17 PDL's currently - worth over 6 grand. It's not good. I make decent money as well, and ALL of my paycheck has been going to fees and well, you all know the cycle. I'm going to bite the bullet and work with Langhorne Law. Any advice for the laws in Texas? I read the sticky but couldn't find Texas information.

Thanks,

Texas requires Internet based pdl's to be licensed by your state, but is also known to have payday loan companies acting as CSO's (Credit Service Organizations). This means they do not need to be licensed, and are generally 100% legal in what they charge. You want to be very careful about which are actually payday lenders and which are CSO's.
