Consumer Narrative
Netcredit is a rent-a-bank scam. They operate outside of my state of Michigan. I asked Netcredit who loans money through many out of state banks to allow me to lower my interest rate to the appropriate SCRA rate of 6 % or 36 % out of state lending cap and sent them my XXXX pay stubs. They acted like the never got the paperwork and then they took out a payment at XXXX percent interest before my due date for an amount that doesnt match their system as being due and were not authorized to do so. I tried to call them and they are impossible to reach. I had to email them countless times over and over again. After doing a lot of research I found out they are a rent a bank scam and charge more than the 36 % cap and are preying on veteran and military personnel as well as anyone looking for help during COVID in order to charge them outrageous interest rates, pull money at un-authorized times and more. XXXX. The 36 % Rate Cap Today A. TheDeregulationoftheXXXXandXXXX Until the deregulation of the XXXX and XXXX, virtually all states had usury caps, though they varied widely and were typically well below 36 % for larger loans.17 But that changed with deregulation, which was spurred by two developments, neither of which reflects on the appropriateness of rate caps today. First, a Supreme Court decision permitted banks to charge the interest rate of their home state, regardless where the loan was made.18 The decision led some states to repeal their interest rates in exchange for banks relocating their headquarters. Other states were forced to follow suit or lose their banking industry.19 Why 36 %? The History, Use, and Purpose of the 36 % Interest Rate Cap 2 Second, double-digit inflation squeezed the availability of credit, especially mortgage credit that was often constrained by much lower interest rate caps, and spurred a general climate of deregulation. The response of many states to the combined developments was to eliminate interest rate caps.20 Many states today have no usury caps or have carved out holes in their rate caps that effectively gut them. B. The Current Trend Toward a 36 % Cap For Small Dollar Loans The 36 % rate for small dollar loans continues to have wide acceptance at the state and federal level. Today, over XXXX jurisdictions 70 % of states still provide for annual interest rate caps at the 36 % benchmark or less within their statutory schemes governing small-dollar installment loans by nonbank lenders.
