Finally. These payday loan places prey on people and put them into a vicious circle of debt. Most of these loan places have APRs of around 391%

HB 545 was signed in June by Governor Ted Strickland, and will go into effect in early September. Under the law, the APR for a payday loan will be capped at 28%, and an Ohioan would be limited to four loans per year. Opponents of the legislation argued that outlawing such small, short-term loans, with an APR of up to 391%, will eliminate 6,000 jobs in Ohio and force as many as 1,500 statewide store locations to close.

Petitions to reverse HB 545 are currently circulating. An Ohio Public Radio program airing August 12 exposed signature collectors who were incorrectly representing the petition as one that would lower the interest rate cap further. Residents of a Butler County homeless shelter also alleged that they were offered money for their signatures.

Haha what a bunch of fuckin scumbags. Paying off homeless people and lying to get them to sign their petition.

Payday loans are a debt trap, charges advocacy organization END 391, which notes that 90% of revenues from payday loans are from repeat borrowers, and about 50% of repeat loans are initiated on the same day a previous loan is paid off. Americans spend $4.2 billion in payday lending fees per year.
