    The legislatures of the USA certainly recognise the toxicity of Payday Lending.

    Payday Lending is illegal in most states of the union under Anti-Usury Laws.

    Crumbs almighty! How many times do I have to tell you lot. Payday lending is prohibited in 17 states, and permitted in 33 states. It's therefore legal in most states.

    Can you keep your logic and facts off this thread please. This is a thread for insane emotional ramblings and we don't need you bringing your fancy 'knowledge' round these parts, thank you very much.

    Wrong. With dodgy math like that, you'd make a perfect punter for.wanka.com!

    Here's the reality:

    In 17 states of the Union there are explicit laws criminalising "payday loans". Nine more states use other Anti-Usury laws to ban the despicable practice. Lending at a rate above a certain APR is a typical threshold. And *throughout* the union, federal law forbids the issuing of payday loans to vulnerable sectors of society.

    Arguably anyone who takes out a payday loan from wonga.com is "vulnerable".

    Let's be frank: the scum behind wonga.com belong in Parkhurst.

  • Blimey, I bet the OP wishes she never opened her mouth! Or her PC. She's probably run to the hills after this lot of baloney (apart from the genuine posters who actually answered her questions)!
