Payday Loans
There's been a steady increase in the number of payday lenders in
the state, and some say that increase, leads to an increase of debt
for a growing number of people.
Nearly 12-hundred pay day lending stores in the state offer consumers
a chance to write a post dated check for a certain amount until pay
day, but consumer advocates say that comes with a high interest rate.
Although state lawmakers failed to set regulations for the payday
lending industry this year, Bernique says she hopes the push for reform
continues.
The bill would have created a database of borrowers and barred them
from having more than one loan at a time.
