Subject: Payday Loan Question
Hi Joe,
I'm trying to find an answer to a question regarding internet based payday loan companies. Do internet based payday loan companies need to be licensed by MO to lend legally in MO? Or can they be licensed in their home state as long as they don't have a physical location in MO? I have several payday loans and they are all licensed in other states. They say they don't need a MO license, or to follow the laws of MO. Is that correct?
Thank you!

Ms ,
Our interpretation of the law is that these lenders do need to follow the laws of our state. We are introducing legislation in the upcoming session that would be more specific about this requirement. To that end, we have dozens of internet lenders from other states licensed at this point in time.
If you would provide me with the web sites or contact information for these lenders I will advise them of our position in a letter.

What does this mean?
Internet based companies do need an MO license.
New laws may be coming soon.
Fees and interest can not be more then 75% of total loan amount.
6 rollovers are allowed.
No criminal prosecution for closing your bank account. |
Looks like IPDLs are legal in Missouri, if they hold a Missouri license.You can search for licensing info on each of them at the Missouri Division of Finance website. I'm betting that at least one of those is illegal.
Hang tight. More help's coming.

Thanx unclewulf for the quick response! I am in the process of finding addresses for the above mentioned pdl's to send C&D's and wage assignment revocations to, but can't find anything on this site about achloan.com. Anybody have info on these dirtbags?
FYI, I went to my bank today to stop ach debits, they said since so many companies are turning checks written to them into ach's instore, that they can't put a block on them. I guess im going to have to find a different bank!!!

Just looked up these ipdl's on Missouri Dept. of Finance web site and guess what. None of them are listed as having a license is the State of Missouri. So I assume they are all illegal to offer loans in this state.
