I live in Pennsylvania/PA and I have online payday loans from United cash loans, cashnetusadotcom,

ezpaydaycashdotcom, and arrowhead investments. i know i dug myself in a big hole. i owe a decent amount on all of

them. I was doing some digging on here and i saw articles regarding online payday loans not being licensed in certain
states.

now if that is the case with these loans, does that mean i dont have to pay the financing fee over and over again and i
just pay off the debt? example: i owe UCL $390 and i can only afford the $90 fee until i pay a couple other lenders off. if
they aren't(or any of the above lenders) licensed in PA, what does that mean? i dont know that much about these types
of things so i'm looking for any loopholes i can because these fees that don't even go towards the loan are killing me so i'm only able to pay a small amount. this is definitely something i will never be doing again! Also, how do i go about telling them I refuse to pay anymore finance fees and do i need any proof?

UCL: $300.
paid: finance fee, $90


oneclickcash $150
9-8 45
9-22 45


cashnetusa $150
8-25 33.75
9-8 83.75
9-22 50


UCfinancial/ezpayday $200
9-22 30.00
9-8 30.00
8-25 30.00
8-11 160.00


Please read the following information: -

The following state allow an internet based payday loan company to lend legally as long as it is licensed in any US State. They would need to follow the laws of the state they are licensed out of, not the state the consumer is in.

Arkansas

Minnesota

Pennsylvania

Rhode island

Tennessee

Wisconsin


As United cash loans or UCL has license in a US state, so it is permitted to lend in PA.

Please go through the pdls laws in PA: -

Pennsylvania State Information

Legal Status: Prohibited

Citation:
Check cashers are specifically prohibited from making payday loans under Check Cashing Licensing Act of 1998, ???? 505(a). Otherwise, consumer discount company act applies. 7 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. ???? 6201 et seq.

Small Loan Rate Cap
$9.50 per $100 per year discount or 24% per year


From the above information it seems to me that you are obligated to pay only a sum of $9.50 per $100 annually which comes round to an interest rate of 24%p.a. In case, the pdl companies are charging you more than this, then you can file comlain with: -
