I was told if u close your account your checks bounce ,they can turn it over to the bad check department


kev, what state are you in? We can check your state law for you. Also, are you dealing with internet loans or storefront loans?

You have a lot of Storefront. So is your debt relief is taking care of them? They are usually all totally legal and you will need to work out something with them, especially if you are closing your bank account. Worry about the internet ones later, right now you need to work out something with the storefronts....

I don't have much knowledge about storefronts, so hopefully someone with that experience can chime in soon...

Subject: Payday Loan Question

Hi Joe,

I'm trying to find an answer to a question regarding internet based payday loan companies. Do internet based payday loan companies need to be licensed by MO to lend legally in MO? Or can they be licensed in their home state as long as they don't have a physical location in MO? I have several payday loans and they are all licensed in other states. They say they don't need a MO license, or to follow the laws of MO. Is that correct?

Thank you!

Ms ,

Our interpretation of the law is that these lenders do need to follow the laws of our state. We are introducing legislation in the upcoming session that would be more specific about this requirement. To that end, we have dozens of internet lenders from other states licensed at this point in time.
If you would provide me with the web sites or contact information for these lenders I will advise them of our position in a letter.

What does this mean?

Internet based companies do need an MO license.

New laws may be coming soon.

Fees and interest can not be more then 75% of total loan amount.

6 rollovers are allowed.

No criminal prosecution for closing your bank account. [/quote]

kev, are you aware that some of your storefronts may be members of the CFSA? If they are members, you may be able to invoke the EPP (extended payment plan). In order to invoke the EPP, you must go into the storefront BEFORE the due date of the loan. The EPP allows you to make 4 equal payments coinciding with your paydates to pay the loan off. If your storefronts have already made payment arrangments with you, that's great! Your internet loans will need to be licensed in Missouri to be considered "legal".

We can get the list of banks/credit unions in Missouri that don't use chexsystems to open a new account that mca has compiled if kev can't open another one now, right?

I know. Also, aren't there on line "banks" that you can set up an account with? I believe there are some members who have gone that route also to avoid chexsystems.
