Just looking, ameriloan isn't legal anywhere, I will need to research the rest. Meanwhile, I am moving this topic to the payday loan section so it will receive more attention. Smile

PayDayMax is an ILLEGAL PDL based out of Malta, that one I know for sure, I don't know about the other ones, but tried to do a search on them in your data base and couldn't find them. Anyone else know?
