According to a story from this morning’s Provo Daily Herald,  the Coalition of Religious Communities has released a report claiming that a very high percentage of Provo’s district court’s small claims cases were filed by payday lending companies. Referring to the payday court traffic as a “significant drain on the system,” coalition member Linda Hilton singled out payday lending company Check City as the main cause behind the high numbers. Hilton claimed that the Provo based company requires its customers to report to court in Provo, no matter where their loan was purchased. We have yet to hear a statement from Check City, but will be following closely to see how reliable these claims truly are.
