New payday lending law goes into effect!

Washington's new law to protect payday loan consumers will go into effect January 1, 2010. The new law will help stop the cycle of high-cost, long-term debt by giving borrowers more options and time to repay their loans.

Thank your legislators for taking steps toward making payday lenders act responsibly. Tell them your story about how these new laws are helping you and your community.

Poverty Action is a Solid Ground program, but they maintain their own website highlighting their efforts: www.povertyaction.org. Check it out for their latest policy priorities!
