PDLoan complaints

trish, you can file complaints with the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org), the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov), and your state attorney general. I just "googled" my state attorney general and the site came up. The BBB and the FTC, you can file on line. States vary when it comes to filing complaints with the state attorney general. You may be able to file on line - or you may have to download the complaint form and fill it out and mail it in.

AG's aren't always the best places to complain. Usually, they just handle consumer complaints about collection practices except for a few states where they actually are the regulator for payday lenders. I would file with them, but I would also file with the state banking authorities (or whoever regulates PDL's in the state - in CA, for example, it's the Department of Corporations.) Those offices can go after lenders for making the loans in the first place. Remember, it wasn't the Kansas Attorney General that went after Quik Payday and won. It was the Kansas Bank Commissioner.

You can file a complaint online to the Ohio Attorney General, here is the link.
