Kentucky Payday Loans

Taking out a payday loan can be a good option for an immediate financial need. Each state has different laws that govern the amount, type and quantity of payday loan funds secured by individual borrowers. In Kentucky, certain laws for payday loans must be followed by every lender and these regulations are in place for the protection of consumers.

The first protection includes a law that requires payday lenders, like lenders in Louisville, to disclose their fee upfront, in writing. Since it is illegal for payday lenders to roll over or extend a payday loan, there are no interest rates - only the set service fee. If you have ever taken out a payday loan in a different state, you may have been able to pay the service fee and extend the loan period. This is not the case in Kentucky, so plan accordingly.

A borrower can take up to $500 out in a payday loan between up to two lenders at a time. Loan terms range from a minimum of 14 days to a maximum of 60. The highest fee that a lender can charge is $15 per $100 of principal borrowed. That amount may be worth it in order to pay other bills on time or avoid costly overdraft fees. Keep in mind that the APR for a 14-day loan of just $100 is 459%.

If a borrower defaults on a payday loan, lenders in Kentucky are not allowed to file civil or criminal charges, yet another protection put in place to protect consumers.
