Washington Payday Lending Battles NCLC Consumer Rights Litigation Conference October 26th, 2012 Bruce D. Neas Columbia Legal Services Olympia, Washington

Understanding the Product Loan sharking, check kiting, bounced checks. Payday lending illegal until authorized by the Legislature in Industry wrote the bill. Payday lending grew out of check cashing. 391% APR for a 14 day loan for $500. Debt Trap- 91% of all payday loans made to repeat borrowers with five or more loans per year (CRL).

The Situation in Washington-2004 $793 Buys $325* Payday Lenders= 713 (# of McDonalds=251) # of Payday Loans= 3,297,012 Volume of Payday Loans= $1,238,488,278 Payday Loan Fees= $164 Million These numbers continued to grow until 2010 reforms. *Typical Payday Borrower pays back $793 for a $325 payday loan from 2003 CRL Report.

The “Legal” Payday Loan Interest rate “caps” of 391% $15 per $100 up to $500; $10 per $100 from $500-$700. No minimum term. 45 Day Maximum Term. Rollovers Legal-Repay the loan and immediately take out another loan.

Building the Coalition Consumer Advocates Poverty Action Labor Military Faith-based Communities of Color AARP Social Service Providers & Advocates Alliance to Prevent Predatory Lending (APPL)

The History of the Campaign Advocates propose 36% rate cap-Nothing. Industry responds with Repayment Legislation- Passes Advocates propose 36% rate cap-Nothing. Industry responds with Military “Best Practices”- Passes Congress passes Talent-Nelson Amendment for Military Borrowers – 36% rate cap and ban on check holding Advocates continue pushing for same protections as military borrowers (36%).

2010 Payday Reforms-SHB 1709 DFI to create database to regulate availability; Limits of 8 payday loans in any twelve-month period; Amount allowed on a payday loan is limited to 30% of a person's monthly income, or $700, whichever is less; Prohibition on making payday loan if borrower has reached limit on amount allowed to be loaned, e.g. no more after $700 taken out; Access to a 90- or 180-day repayment plan (90 days for under $400, 180 for over $400); If borrower has repayment plan, no further loans.
