I live in Maine and have 5 payday loans out. Could someone help me the laws in Maine. I have read them but do not understand. thanks


If you check out the link aciotsf provided it has a bunch of info about the laws of Maine. They actually have some pretty good laws regarding pdl's . . . . . Only supervised lenders are allowed to do payday loans, and I'd be willing to bet that none of the companies you borrowed from are supervised lenders. Maine also has a law that specifically says that with respect to a payday loan, the lender, wherever located, enters into a payday loan transaction with a consumer who is located in this state in bound by the laws of Maine.

I would recommend contacting your state's banking dept and attorney general's office and filing complaints against these companies. Then you need to close your bank account that they have access to. When you do this ask your bank what their policy about ach transactions going through on closed accounts are. Some banks will "force" open a closed account and allow the transaction to go through, leaving you oweing the bank money, not the illegal pdl. If your bank does have this policy, ask them to make your account deposit only. This will prevent any transaction from going through once the account is closed. They can also put a freeze on the account.

When I called them they told me that I signed a paper stating that I would adhere to the Utah laws? I am in the process of gathering all of my original loan documents. I can't close my account at the bank because it is in the negative. I have contacted Maine Department of Consumer Credit regulations and gathering everything for them. Any other advise? When do I find the Maine law?

Please start a new topic in the payday loan help section with the following information, this will help us to help you:
-Names of each pdl company.
-Whether they are store front or Internet.
-How much you borrowed.
-How much you paid so far.
-The state in which you reside.
