"File complaints against Internet payday lenders with your state regulator, your state Attorney General, and the Federal Trade Commission. Regardless of where the Internet lender says it is located, it is subject to your state's credit regulations."

I was referring to the content in the message. I live in CT where PDL's are illegal and I wish attorney general had a message like that on the site. I had to do a lot of searching to find out anything about contacting someone in CT to complain to and it would have been nice to see a little blurb lilke that giving you an idea of where to go.

The issue is similar to what the Iowa Dept of Banking deals with here regarding Internet loans. All that they can do is advise the lender that they are violating the law, that is if they can find them. With state budgets as tight as they are today, they will not spend much time trying to track down offshore lenders. The consumer that takes an online loan out in an unregulated or illegal state does so at thier own risk. Do not borrow from an online lender unless they display a license from your state!!!
