A class action lawsuit challenges Speedy Cash’s practice of giving loans at extremely high interest rates.
Plaintiff Cindy Delisle says that she took out a loan from Speedy Cash and was charged unlawfully high interest rates.
She says she was not given adequate time to review the terms of the loan, so she was not aware that the interest rates were so high.
According to Delisle, she took out an Installment Loan and Promissory Note with Speedy Cash on July 14, 2018 for the amount of $4,457.38.
The Speedy Cash class action says under the terms of the loan Delisle was required to pay back the loan at a minimum of $15,097.63, but she was not provided with the terms of the loan in a way that let her accurately review them, so she did not know that she would be required to pay that amount.
The plaintiff reportedly made a payment to Speedy Cash on Aug. 17, 2018, thereby incurring financial injury from her involvement with the company.
She says that the company intentionally misled her into taking out a loan with an exorbitantly high interest rate and makes a practice of misleading all of its consumers about the terms of their loan, so as to maximize its profits from unfair interest rates.
The Speedy Cash loan class action lawsuit argues that the company does not give its borrowers an opportunity to negotiate the loan, but presents the loan on a “take it or leave it” basis and only shows them the terms of the loan very briefly.
The plaintiff argues that Speedy Cash violates California’s Unfair Competition Law by charging interest rates well above the legally allowed rate. She says that the company’s loan practices are “unfair, unlawful, fraudulent, and/or pernicious.”
The Speedy Cash loan interest rates class action lawsuit alleges that the company knew or should have known of the legal restrictions on interest rates, and knowingly violated the law.
Additionally, Delisle says that the company had legal means by which it could make a profit and run its business, but actively chose instead to violate the law and charge extreme interest rates.
The Speedy Cash high interest rates class action lawsuit says that the company intentionally deceives consumers as to the terms of the loan by not allowing them adequate time to review the loan terms, and by making the terms of the loan so confusing that reasonable borrowers would not be able to understand them.
Allegedly, this is done so that consumers who discover the high interest rates would not have an opportunity to decide to not take out a loan from Speedy Cash, because had they known that the interest rate was extremely high and unlawful, they would refuse to do business with the company.
Delisle is represented by Ahren Tiller of BLC Law Center APC, Joshua Swigart of Hyde & Swigart and Abbas Kazerounian of Kazerouni Law Group APC.
The Speedy Cash Interest Rates Class Action Lawsuit is Cindy Delisle v. Speedy Cash, Case No. 3:18-cv-02042-GPC-RBB, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

I also would like to be added to the lawsuit because am over paying for an installment loan and all am doing is just paying the interest fee, and I have no idea what to do about it
I would like to opt in on this class action lawsuit my credit limit was 1300.00 and now it is up to 2200.00 that i owe
Please add me and help. I was in fire straits trying to keep my business afloat. I borrowed the money without really understanding that it would be 4x payout. I borrowed $5000 have already paid them $7000 and it shows that I still owe $5400. How do I still legally owe more than I borrowed a year and $7000 later. It’s a fraud, a scam and preys on desperate people. If I knew how this would ruin my finances I would have never done it.
Please add me as well. I am in the same situation.
I am in need of legal services for the same company. (Speedy Cash)
I borrowed from sorry Cash around 1996 & 1998 charge excess interest rates. Borrow 1$00 pd back 200
I need to find an attorney who will take on these people at Speedy Cash. They definitely didn’t tell me when I got my loan that my payment of $245.74 per month was not paying my loan, but only a fee to keep me in good standing with them. None of the money I paid them went toward the principle of my loan. I thought I was paying the loan until I saw the payoff amount was not changing month after month. No one told me it would work like this, now I can’t pay the loan and I don’t know what to do.
I agree
