CashAdvance.com remains dedicated to safeguarding consumers from payday loan lenders that may engage in illicit lending practices, while equipping consumers with the knowledge necessary to make informed, responsible loan decisions.
Truth in Lending Act
CashAdvance.com’s policies and practices rigidly adhere to the regulations set by Fair Lending Laws, such as the Truth in Lending Act. Before a consumer assumes any obligation to initiate the loan process, they will be presented, in writing, with the exact rates, fees, rollover charges, and other details of their loan, not to exceed state regulatory legislation. Review the applicable laws and regulations in your state within our Consumer Resource Center.
Fair Lending
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act states that all lenders, including payday loan lenders, must engage in “fair lending,” which is defined as “fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory access to credit for consumers.” Dodd-Frank also tasks the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with the enforcement of fair lending regulations. Consumers using CashAdvance.com are urged to file a complaint with the agency should any problems arise with their payday loans.
Fair Debt Collection Practices
For consumers repaying their loans, CashAdvance.com follows all provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. While CashAdvance.com is not an actual lender and, as a result, does not collect debts from consumers, we require all lenders in our network to follow the statutes. These include:
- Contacting consumers by telephone anytime before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.
- Contacting consumers by phone with the intent to annoy, harass, etc., or using abusive language at anytime.
- Collecting debt through deception or misrepresentation.
- Threatening legal recourse when no legal action is permitted.
Should a lender be found to be in violation of these or any other FDCPA statutes, CashAdvance.com does not hesitate to cease conducting business with the company and report them to the FTC.
Reporting Scams
CashAdvance.com helps consumers report any illicit lenders and scam artists seeking to take advantage of those in need. By creating the SCAM REPORT, an online forum dedicated to helping consumers communicate scams to each other and report them to the appropriate consumer protection agencies, such as the Better Business Bureau.
State Regulations
While all lenders and CashAdvance.com follow federal regulations, individual states also have numerous laws for lending within their borders. These include strict adherence to local laws regarding interest rates, rollover limits and fees, maximum loan terms, cool-off periods between loans, presentment limits, and more.
