Payday loan offices have been sprouting up across the country for decades. In these hard times, more people than ever are using payday loans to keep bill collectors at bay. Quick money, at interest rates of around 500% or more, for people with bad credit has been praised by some as a lifeline for the poor, but condemned by others as a trap to keep families in debt. Recently some states have passed laws limiting interest rates, but there is one marketplace that knows no borders — the Internet. ANP visited a conference where online payday-lending lobbyists urged congress to reject reform, and then traveled to a small town near the Virginia-North Carolina border to learn about the experiences of a man who googled “bad credit loans” and found himself in more trouble than he bargained for.

The nerve of these loan sharks. They think the law is on their side when they are the ones playing with the law of nations as it is some game. They are going down with a millstone on their neck.

They took out four loans to get 500$each then they were paying back 400$ a month interest????? heres an idea save the 400$ a month instead of taking the easy way out and using the payday loans. Hey heres an idea disconnect your fing internet if you are so broke. then you wont be tempted to surf the internet for easy money.
Go get a freekin second job. Jeez. He was probably tired though.

It takes many years to raise a population where many people will fall for such scams as this. No job, no assets, no prospects — so they borrow money at an enormous interest rate? Of course the sharks should be held to account, but people, you get nothing, for nothing.

Joe Baca - GFY. You’re a Democrat? You disgust me. All payday lenders should be in jail.

@bullzweep- what do you mean “Makes me sick” what are you sick about? this historically this kind of usury was illegal. i despise dumb fucks like you that show contempt for families in emotional distress . what do you mean get a second job, they have SICK CHILD that has to go to the hospital, stupid. they had no idea the amount of specialist and length of care that was going to be needed, do the bill they thought they could handle soared. and the internet is great for researching illness.

Ohio passed a law in 2008 capping payday loans at 28% down from the 391% they were charging. I was unaware this was so prevalent on the internet. This is a deplorable practice preying on those who can afford it the least.

NC passed a law some years back caping the interest rate of of these types of loans. Almost overnight 90% of payday loan offices in the state closed up shop.

My contempt is for parents that are irresponsible. The SICK CHILD does not need two people at home all day if they are broke.
” internet is great for researching illness. ”
Sure but a job is a great way to pay for an illness.
