Meanwhile in Wisconsin…
August 24, 2009 | Wisconsin, customers | Comments (0)Legislators are considering legislation that would eliminate payday lending in the state. The Northwestern spoke with one customer about the proposed legislation.
Althea Immonen, a nursing assistant who works in Oshkosh, recently paid off her loan at Check N Go, 2327 Jackson St. She opposes an interest cap at payday stores. She’s had a five-year relationship with Check N Go and she does not want it jeopardized.
Immonen said it’s hard to get a loan at a bank these days. Payday loans are fast and there is little “red tape,” she said.
“It works for people like us who have jobs and use it in a pinch. Things happen. That’s life,” Immonen said. “But this place is awesome. They work with me.”
