The following state allow an internet based payday loan company to lend legally as long as it is licensed in any US State. They would need to follow the laws of the state they are licensed out of, not the state the consumer is in.

Arkansas

Rhode island

Tennessee

Wisconsin - If you found the company online by a search or other means

The following state are 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.

Florida

Maryland

Texas

PDL's are illegal, but CSO's are legal.

CSO's are different from pdl's, and are under totally different laws. So pdl's can be illegal and CSO's legal in the same state.

Goudah...help me...I am not sure, as in the case of Maryland, how/when to determine if it is a CSO or PDL. Maryland says that a CSO doesn't have to be licensed, ergo, no record of them on the MD site. So a person could easily interpret that a lender is not licensed and therefore is not legal. They may confuse it as being a PDL lender.

If a lender is required to have a license but is not on the state's roster, does that mean it's illegal? What do I need to do if it is? I've got 11 payday loans and they eating me alive!

Licenses can be hard to find. The company may be licensed under a corporate name, or some other way.

I can't speak to general legalities. Everything depends on the specifics.

DSS - CSO's must still be registered with the Sec of State. It's a different process then licensing, but most states still have searchable databases of the registrations. Also, the contract will also state that the business is a CSO.

Best you can do is to tell the company that you believe them to be unlicensed and force them to prove that they are (they need to be licensed at the time of transaction, btw).

If they give you a corporate name, or a d/b/a name, come back here and post it to assist other community members.

So If the company is not licensed what does that mean? I have loans with BIG, 247advance, Loanshop and FTR processing. Are these companies licensed in AZ? If not what can i do about the loans? I have already taken the first step and closed my bank account, but now I am freaked out abou that harrassing phone calls I am sure I will get.
