STATE ORDERS MORE PAYDAY LENDERS TO CEASE ACTIVITY IN MASSACHUSETTS
Unlicensed lenders typically charge illegal fees and interest rates

The Office of Consumer Affairs' Division of Banks this week issued 48 cease activity orders against out-of-state payday lenders who are marketing illegal loans to Massachusetts consumers via the Boston Craigslist website and most recently in the Boston Herald. Commissioner of Banks Steven L. Antonakes has also asked the website and newspaper to cease accepting advertising from these companies. Massachusetts Consumer Affairs Director Janice S. Tatarka warned consumers of the multiple dangers these loans pose.

Default payday loans

Polly this is great if only all the other states would do the same. Quick payday also went down in Iowa. Going to have to pay back money to Iowa residents. Hope how soon they go down in WV. Kyside38

Yes it is great. Some states are so consumer friendly and other are all about big business. I believe in State's rights. I always have, but there are certain things a little federal involvement would be helpful for.

Sue,

It was Quikpayday. The one that got into alot of trouble in Colorado and had to pay back the residence. Looks like Iowa residents are next. Did you have one with them? I read that too on the internet.

Massachusetts had this in place well over a year and a half ago. It's good to see that they are sticking to their guns.

Sue,

Maybe you should contact the AG's office to find out further details? You may be entitled to a refund which would be great for you Let me know if you need any help. Polly, thanks for posting this. It seems that these places are finally getting caught in their own tracks. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you.

That is great news,Polly.Maybe other states will take notice and follow suit.One local pay day loan place here I never did have any trouble,even when I was late,but I don't think that's the norm!...Karen

Default quik payday

Sue it was quik payday. They have signed cease and desist letter. You need to contact AG immediately so they will have your name on list. They usually send one big check and then cut seperate ones however I do think quik mails them to each individual. You will get back all interest paid. Sorry it took me so long to answer. KYSIDE38

Yay Massachusetts! hooray for my home state! As for my new home Florida, they're still living in the past handing out payday loans like bank lollipops. Duuuuh! Stupid stupid Jeb Bush! Shame on you!

I grew up in Sturbridge, and moved to Rockland when I got married, which is in the South Shore area.
