Darrell Wells
“The average person in [the payday loan] business is not making a ton of money… If I could offer this product at a lower price, I’d already be doing it. It would be a huge competitive advantage.”
Payday lender Darrell Wells claims that he cannot lower his prices any further and that a proposed rate cap of 36 percent APR would effectively kill his small payday loan business…
In an article by Richard Roesler, Wells said that in an average month he:
- makes 415 loans
- grosses $20,000 in fees
- nets $2000 after expenses (employees, taxes, benefits and overhead)
Wells told lawmakers that the rate cap legislation would be a de facto ban on payday loans:
“I’m here to tell you that is not regulation. That is prohibition.”
Darrell Wells is the owner of Paycheck Financial Centers in Olympia and Aberdeen, Washington.
