Some internet lenders are licensed in Florida as Credit Service Organizations and are not listed under the name they trade as, but under another name. I do not believe that Cash Advance USA is licensed here as a CSO. The Florida laws posted above do not pertain to the Internet lenders, they are written for the storefronts. The Florida Consumer Financial Act Chapter 516 is what is being used as a guidline. It was recently amended by legislation and I am waiting for an interpretation from Mr Sam Whited of the FLDFS. As soon as I get it I will post it. But it does say that all lenders must be licensed in Florida regardless of their geographical location. Loans by unlicensed entities are deemed uncollectable. You can call the FLDFS and get 6 different answers from 6 different people which make it a very frustrating encounter with ignorance. Its like asking the conumers affairs depatment if something is advertised 7 for 10.00 how much should one cost. You will get 5 different answers.
