State Commissioner Tightens Rules for Small Loan Firms
West Virginia Banking Commissioner Neil W. Walker issued new regulations governing small loan companies. Rules require contracts to be signed with all blanks filled, prohibit coercion to convert to small loans, ban dealer kickbacks, and limit extra ventures unless authorized. Loans may not exceed 300 dollars with tiered interest rates, and charging beyond limits or attributions of secret agreements are forbidden. The measure aims to ensure arm’s length purchases of installment notes and prevent inflated terms.
