Take Action: The next COVID-19 relief bill must cap sky-high interest rates

Predatory lenders shouldn’t get to take advantage of the terrible economic hardships of this pandemic. Congress must cap sky-high interest rates in the next Coronavirus relief package.

Unless Congress takes action to stop it, Millions of people will fall deeper into debt as high cost lenders exploit the terrible moment we’re in. Payday and car title lenders have long engaged in price-gouging with triple-digit interest rates and exorbitant fees.
