High-Cost Credit

Predatory lending strips wealth from vulnerable consumers and communities. High-cost lenders use a variety of methods to evade consumer protection laws and even to deny they are offering credit. NCLC fights for reasonable and effective interest rate limits, affordable small dollar loans, and an end to abusive practices and evasions by payday lenders, online lenders, credit cards, and newer fintech forms of credit.
