Predatory lending, which can include payday and car-title loan organizations and businesses that offer abusive mortgage terms, is on the rise in Missouri – the number of payday lenders in the state has nearly doubled in the last five years to almost 1,300, according to the Missouri Division of Finance.
The discussion tonight will educate attendees on methods predatory lenders use, alternatives available for borrowers, and continued education through the Don’t Borrow Trouble Campaign, sponsored locally through UNA.
