Payday lending clash pits faith groups against industry in Virginia

Virginia faces a high stakes fight over payday loans as religious groups, NAACP, AARP and local governments join anti loan advocates against lenders with deep lobbying, ads, and donations. Debate centers on capping rates at 36 percent amid a beefed up industry and renewed legislative push.

PayDay Lenders and Opponents Mobilize in Payday Debate

A look at both sides on payday lending shows a $10 million industry campaign touting short term loans as a bridge between paychecks. Lenders offer extended payment plans and display APR posters while opponents rally church leaders protest outside stores and urge caps on interest rates. Local governments have passed resolutions, AARP coordinates calls to lawmakers, and volunteers canvass districts as lobbyists push bills. Both sides engage in op-eds and public forums.
