Dollars & Sense readers and supporters will find the PLA website most informative.
The Predatory Lending Association mission: To help predatory lenders extract maximum profit from the working poor and retired poor with payday loans.
The predatory lending industry: In the last 10 years, payday loan stores have gone from being illegal to outnumbering Starbucks™ coffee shops in many states.
Maximum profit: In 2006, American families spent one in seven of their take home dollars on debt payments1. The Predatory Lending Association is the only organization dedicated to helping you capture these dollars.
The Predatory Lending Association is not related in any way to the Association of Predatory Home Lenders (APHL), which focuses on the home mortgage industry. And while we are partners, we remain separate from the Society for Credit Card Fee Maximization (SCCFM), the Association of Predatory Money Managers (APMM), and the Society of Predatory Mutual Funds (SPMF).
The PLA website is chock full of resources, including its Military Loan Finder , Working Poor Finder, and Racial Profiling Tools.
