This Payday Loan case is a historical one.

This case is combined with earlier settlements, the FTC has recovered about $25.5 million this far and the total estimated debt to be waived is $353 million making this case the largest FTC recovery in a payday loan lending case.

Massive amounts of consumer complaints led to the discovery that, a contract being used stated that a $300 loan would cost $390 to repay when actually $975 was charged.

The issue is the Payday loan operators failed to accurately disclose the annual percentage rate (APR) and other terms which is a violation of the TILA laws as known as Truth In Lending Act.

Simply put, the payday loan companies made it a precondition to getting the loan to preauthorize debits from consumer accounts.

This is a violation of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA).

Warn everyone you know how easy it is to get duped on payday loans.
