Loans And Charges In Oregon Small Loans
The Morning Oregonian exposes how small loan firms charge high rates under Oregon's small loan act. A $30 loan for ninety days costs $9.75 in regular charges plus $13.25 monthly repayments, with interest not shrinking as principal declines. Examples show annual rates near 600 percent, highlighting legal but harsh terms for borrowers. The act, passed by the last legislature, is criticized as more favorable to lenders than to those in need. The bank superintendent notes it may be better for borrowers than the old law, yet the figures imply extreme costs remain.
