California Next To Implement Payday Loan Bill?
There has been alot of Leadpile posts about payday loans, and the various states implementing legislation on payday loans. California appears to be the next state to look at doing this. A recent article in Merced Sunstar points out that bill 377 is going through the legislature to attempt to regulate payday loans, however it does not have any rate cap incorporated into this bill. So, will this bill have enough ammunition for the legislature to see the need to pass it? Only time will tell.
Leadpile will keep an eye on this most recent payday loan news, and see what happens in the state of California (if anything at all).
PAYDAY LOANS STINK! The political climate is changing and their end is near. Their store fronts are becoming more and more dangerous places to work. Their disgruntled clients are getting smarter, banding together and learning how to fight back. Payday Loan companies offered some valuable service to the community, but for too long, we’ve been playing by the unfair rules written by these powerful companies. PAYDAYLOANSSTINK.COM welcomes them to exist, but its time that the playing field is leveled. Payday Loan companies have proliferated through intimidation and misinformation for too long. PAYDAYLOANSSTINK.COM exists to give you – the consumer & the employee – the information you need to gain the upperhand. To escape their devious cycle-of-debt trap! PAYDAYLOANSSTINK.COM invites every one affected – including employees of the industry – to join in the discussion and learn from each other.
- JUST STOP PAYING! Always remember to put a Stop Payment on your check. It forces them to stop charging interest and negotiate a payment on your terms. Not theirs!
- Did you know that by sending them a simple Cease And Desist letter by certified mail, you can get all of their harassing phone calls – to you, your work and your family – to stop?
- And did you know that many Payday Loan store fronts are blatantly breaking laws every day? That a simple letter to your City Council or your Attorney General could help to shut them down? Or even get some of your money refunded?
- THE “EPP” EXTENDED PAYMENT PLAN – Available at nearly 70% of the nation’s Payday Loan stores, but yet you are never told about the EPP – “Right now your Payday Loan store is offering a three-month, interest-free payment plan for anyone who has a current loan! Save hundreds of dollars in interest. That’s right! Whether it’s Advance America, Check Into Cash, Quik Cash, Check N Go or some other Payday Cash Advance company, just tell them you are tired of paying interest and would like your FREE EPP. The Extended Payment Plan. Ask for it today before it’s gone!”

I personally don’t know if you know this or not, there is a credit union called “Northside Community Federal credit Union” in Chicago, IL. Northside offers an unsecured $500 payday alternetive loan, which the credit unions gives it’s members 6 months to pay off thier loan.
2Both Northside and Mission-SF credit unions give thier members 6 months to pay off thier loans. This longer term allows members to pay little by little over time; thus freeing up most of thier net income or government benefits checks to save, pay rent, utility bills, buy groceries and other needs(and wants), and minimize repeated borrowing. On the following link, watch and listen how Northside rescued this young lady from the payday loan trap before her credit became damaged.
