Hi everyone! It can be frustrating trying to sort through your state's government websites to find the lending laws that pertain to you, so using Tammy's list of state code details and the info from the paydayloan info website, here's a list of each states lending laws. This is a work in progress, so I'll add more as I read more about specific details of each state, but for now it can at least be a decent jumping off point for those of you dealing with PDLs. :)


According to AL law, Section 5-18A-12, for licensed deferred presentment transactions (payday loans) the max interest rate is 17.5%, and the largest the payday loan can be is $500. So the largest interest rate possible would be $87.50 on a $500 loan. I can assure you FSM and FRT are not licensed in AL, so they are both in violation of the interest caps set forth by AL state laws. This is what give you the power to only pay back the principal amount you borrowed. Hope that helps! :)
