Maine Supreme Court rules on small loans dispute
Portland AP report: Maine high court ruled a wage earner loan may carry interest from a prior contract within the new loan. The decision affects about 16.8 million dollars in disputed notes and upholds that interest from the old loan becomes part of principal under the new contract. Affected loans ranged from 1 million to 1.5 million. About 300,000 dollars in payments were withheld by the wage earner plan trustee. The ruling was written by Associate Justice Walter M. Tapley Jr. The decision notes the legislature aimed to prevent lenders from exacting high or unconscionable interest by escalating rates on one contract.
