Press Release
LENDERS ABUSIVE TERMS TRAP
UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS; IS THERE HOPE
FOR VICTIMS IN SEARCH OF RELIEF?
A recent pattern reveals lenders target demographics, as a nation
outraged, by multi-billion dollar loan industry, calls for
immediate action
Oakland Park, Fl. — Sept. 01, 2015 – The battle to free millions trapped in abusive lending terms proves effective
as advocate companies bring financial relief to consumers nationwide. Although efforts been successful, predatory
lenders continue to use unscrupulous tactics to lure consumers in to signing for unsecured loans, exploiting the need
for financial assistance. The loans typically carry triple-digit interest rates and incur high penalty fees for missed
payments. When a payment is missed, consumers will use another loan to cover the costs of the original – A debt
cycle, or debt trap, impossible to escape. A recent study showing increased discriminatory patterns in target
demographics, gained national attention resulting in an organized effort to raise awareness. Recently, the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and advocate companies, such as the recently founded National Payday Loan
Relief, have focused their attention on assisting victims in settling their debt -- and exposing the dishonest nature of
predatory lenders to prevent further incidents from occurring. In an article, recently published in the Wall Street
Journal, the CFPB announces its plans to federally regulate payday loan companies -- A multi-billion dollar
industry, enforced by its own states laws. This lack of organization, allows lenders to distribute loans to individuals
living in a state where lending is banned.
A recent study reveals a discriminatory pattern formed among lenders targeting specific demographics – Being
mostly parents, divorcees, low-income families, and African-Americans. Additionally, seventy percent of borrowers
were showed using payday loans to bridge a cash-gap between paychecks. The Federal Reserve reported the specific
uses – Explained in the following graph:

resort to them as a temporary fix but end up in an ever-mounting debt cycle that is impossible to

lives back in order"
