Guest...why not register ...it will be easier for you to track your posts that way too. Can you tell us if these are internet or store front loans?? There is a big difference in the way they are handled.

As far as how the law reads it does also depend on what kind of loans they are too...if they are licensed in your state or not. For example...your law reads no rollover fees allowed. On most internet loans they let you roll over the fee, of lets say $30., at least 4 times before they start taking an additional amount for the principle. Lets say on a $100. loan they roll it over 4 times...that means you have alread paid $120 and none of it has gone toward the principle. In your state that would be illegal if they were a non licensed lender. How ever if it was a store front and ever week you go in and pay the whole loan back plus their fee and then re borrow the money, that would be legal for that particular company.
