First there was the subprime ripoff. Now those who haven't been finished off by the mortgage collapse and taking out payday loans. In both cases working people are being ripped-off by what are essentially modern day loan sharks. All with the blessing of the government.

Payday lending is not loan sharking. We are upfront to our customers about the cost of each loan and the term of each loan. The industry even provides a comparison tool at www.cfsa.net/knowyourfee/index.html. Consumers do have other options, they can borrow money from friends and family, bounce checks, pay overdraft or late payment fees, or take out a credit card cash advance. Time and time again our customers tell us that they choose to take out a payday loan because it is the best option for them.
