“This rehash of flawed statistics is designed for publicity purposes, not a serious discussion of consumer lending needs.”
Payday loan industry trade group president Darrin Anderson attacks a recent payday loan study by the Center for Responsible Lending…
The study, entitled “Financial Quicksand,” claims payday lenders in the United States made $4.2 billion in “excessive” fees during 2005.
Anderson characterized the study as misleading but does not dispute the $4.2 billion figure. In fact, he believes it shows that payday loans are an essential tool for people with short-term credit needs:
“The bottom line is that consumers spend $4.2 billion a year for a product they choose over the alternatives.”
Darrin Anderson is president of the Community Financial Services Association (CFSA), a payday loan industry trade group, and QC Holdings.

Payday loans are the most expensive form of credit and are even more expensive than loan sharks. If possible, please consider payday loan alternatives.
