Ok, so I got bored today and called our Ohio office of Consumer Affairs and talked to George Paree, one of the workers in that office that deals with PDL's.
According to him...
Any lender that charges MORE than 8% interest on a loan, HAS to be licensed in Ohio. Whether that be a business license, or a banking license, or a small loan lending license..They have to have A license.
The fees are no more than 5% of the total loan amount and a $5 loan origination fee...Which on a 200 loan, would be $30 per month, or partial month.
