Kansas vs. Payday Loan Collector Agency

The Attorney General of the State of Kansas has recently announced that he has filed a lawsuit for consumer-protection against a debt collection agency that is based in the state. The said agency was based to collect the debts of consumers for their payday loans.

The complaint was passed to the Pulaski County Circuit Court. According to the file, National Credit Adjusters LCC or NCA of the Hutchinson, Kan., is against the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act because its collection of consumer debts for payday and high-installment loans is usurious, unacceptable and not legal under the law of the State of Kansas.

According to Atty. McDaniel’s complaint the NCA is distorted to the consumers of Arkansas clients. The law does not state that collecting the payday loans and installment debts should be strictly enforced. In fact, in the state of Kansas, having a group of people to collect payday loans from clients is illegal.

McDaniel is driven to protect the citizens of the state from abuse and illegal activities from payday lenders and other agencies that are connected with them. He further stated that even if they had been successful in closing some of the payday lending firms, they will be very aggressive and vigilant in going after the individuals who practice activities contrary to their law, and those that try to collect on illegal debt is one of them.

The NCA has recently purchased rights to collect on delinquencies. This has led to the purchase of large amounts of debt from payday loans and high-interest installment loans. These loans increase the rates that the law in Arkansas allows.

The lawsuit is requesting the Court to make an action in preventing the NCA to practice illegal activities in Arkansas. It also wants the Court to cancel their currently unpaid loan contracts and order the agency to return the money it has collected to the people.

The attorney also wants the Court to impose penalties for their civil crime by imposing penalties and costs.

The lawsuit asks the Court to issue an injunction prohibiting NCA from actions that violate Arkansas law, cancel outstanding usurious loan contracts, and order NCA to return to Arkansas consumers any money collected based on payday or high-interest installment loans.

Payday Lenders Have a Reason to Increase Rates

Wonga, a payday lender from Britain has made public that they will be expanding their interest lending to small establishments. Though some consumer groups have been opposed to the gesture no one can say for sure that the move will be hazardous to small companies.

Paying interest just to borrow cash is an idea many people will be hesitant to do. Consumers and establishments are willing to pay rates lower than the charges Wonga is offering. A zero interest rate will be very appealing for everyone. However, lenders such as Wonga charge these high interest rates to prevent bad debt expenses.

When payday shops lend money to individuals who may be unlikely to pay off their loans they have to consider the chances that the borrowers may not be able to pay back what they owe. If you think about it is practical for payday lenders to increase their rates for risky borrowers because if they fail to pay the payday shop will suffer. Most of the small companies that apply for a loan in Wonga have high default rates for their loans. The small companies will have to borrow money because if they do not they will die off anyway.

If the small businesses are not allowed to borrow money, their owners will apply for personal loans anyway and will be signing in their business property in the contract; basically it is the same thing.

Government policies should be centered on protecting consumers from negative forces in the environment, not trying to block payday lending to small companies. High interest loans are not negative forces, small businesses do not harm the environment and they do not usually contribute to the worse kinds of pollution. They only belong to individuals who want to engage in the industry.

Preventing lending to these establishments is like killing the dreams of their owners. Also, the prevention of lending to the businesses will be expensive for the government because it would require them to enforce bans which mean more money to spend on forces.
