The lenders still have to follow Florida law when lending to a resident of Florida, and they have to be licensed to conduct business in your state. Majority of these internet pdls are not licensed to lend in any state other than where they are located. They will tell you that you agree to follow their state laws in the contract you signed, that won't hold up.

Definately get a hold of the Florida Department of Business and Prof. Regulation. I also live in Florida and they've been enormously helpful. There are there for consumers, it's what they do.
And they are very interested in payday loans and their illegal activities on licensing issues.
