How do these stores "rob" people? These people cannot get a regular loan because they are bad risks. Bad risk=Higher interest. That is the basics of finance.

It is amazing how anytime I leave comments on this site late at night, they always seem to disappear by the next morning...
Anyway, I guess it would be too repetitive to see the headline "Cash Advance Store Robs Disadvantaged People" every single day!

The suspect was nabbed when he later returned to patronize the very same store. He allegedly stated that "turnabout is fair play."

Is this supposed to be taken as bad news? I'm glad someone got paid from those thieves.

This person was only trying to aid in the cause of having these establishments closed down.
