Interest Rate for PDL's in Ohio
Date: Sun, 06/15/2008 - 08:29
Anyway, she has a loan with a store front pdl, she's defaulted already. I was looking at her loan papers and noticed they have the percentage rate as 497.73% which also states, this is the cost of your credit as a yearly rate. I was looking over the Ohio pdl laws and this is what I found:
The amount she owes seems legit but that 497.73% caught my eye. Is this legit or is this misleading in some way. I'm not quite sure.
Also, I've learned from this forum that a cease and desist letter only applies to 3rd party collectors, based on the fdcpa, therefore, what purpose would it serve for her to send them a C & D letter, and what (if any) laws would enforce it? Thanks in advance.

One thing I can think of is some payday places require you come in on your payday or the day after. So if your friend took one out on Monday and the payday is that next Friday, you are not getting a full two weeks. That could maybe change the apr% then. I had a few stores when I had pdl's out made me come in the day of my payday or next day. They didn't give me a full two weeks to repay.
Ryan is right - It depends on the time length of the loan. The
Ryan is right - It depends on the time length of the loan. The example in the summary of law posted above assumes a 14 day loan term.
Notice also, it doesn't say Max apr = 390%
It is just calculating out the APR for the example. It's not saying that the max APR is 390%.

So basically there is no legal ground to stand on when sending a C&D letter, it would be a matter of courtesy on the creditors part? I kind of knew that, but was just checking. :?
