How do I know if a pay day loan company is a CSO??? Thanks


BPM, as you know, PDLs are prohibited in the state of NJ. For small loans, the usury cap is set at 30% annually. I cannot find this company as a licensed entity in the state of NJ for small loans, as a CSO or otherwise. I would suggest that you contact the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance to confirm whether they are a licensed CSO or not. What the APR on the loan? If it's over 30%, I'm betting it's illegal in the state of NJ but, again, I would double check with the regulator.

Regulatory Contact: Ludi Hughes, Assistant Commissioner
Address: 20 West State St. Trenton NJ 08625

P.S. I deleted the duplicate posts. I had a similar issue not long ago. I think sometimes the server gets overloaded and it takes a bit to catch up :)

What state are you in? There are a couple on your list that aren't licensed to lend in any state in the U.S. There are also a few that are both PDL and CSO, depending on your location.

I've done some research and it looks like CashNetUSA and Loanshack are the only lenders who are licensed. CNUSA will allow you to enroll in an extended payment plan. Call them and ask for it. Generally, they will divide your balance into 4 equal payments payable over your next 4 pay dates. I would ask the same of Loanshack. The others aren't licensed and you are only required to repay the principal amount borrowed. Anything you've paid to them thus far can be applied to your principal balance due.
