Credit Sale Interest Limit Urged in Pa Assembly
Harrisburg AP A state consumer group urged the House to cap credit sale interest at 12 percent annually. The Pennsylvania League for Ocean Protection, allied with AFL CIO, sent a letter to lawmakers as Democratic leaders moved to add the flat rate to a consumer protection bill. The bill previously allowed up to 10 dollars per 100 on installments under 500 and 8 per 100 over 500, with revolving plans at 14 percent monthly up to 500 and 1 percent monthly over 500. The proposed amendment would set 1 percent monthly on revolving accounts and reduce delinquency charges from 5 percent to 4 1/2 percent per month, plus require contracts be given in full at purchase.
