Assemblymember Ash Kalra Commends California Supreme Court Ruling on Predatory Lending

Tuesday, August 14, 2018

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Ash Kalra commends the California Supreme Court’s ruling in De La Torre v. CashCall finding that high-interest rates on loans above $2,500 are “unconscionable.” Over the past two years Assemblymember Kalra has been leading the effort to place reasonable interest rate caps on high dollar consumer loans over $2,500.

“I applaud the California State Supreme Court for doing what the Legislature could not; finding that high-interest rate loans are unacceptable.” Assemblymember Kalra goes on to say, “This ruling is a significant step forward, however, it remains the responsibility of the Legislature to put in place sound and reasonable financial protections for consumers who need a loan when faced with stressful financial circumstances.”

Assemblymember Kalra Pushes for Stronger Predatory Loan Regulations

(Sacramento) - Assemblymember Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) wrote Assembly Bill AB 250, the Safe Consumer Lending Act, to protect California families from abusive high-cost installment loans and put a cap on such predatory loans. “This is not just a policy issue, this is a moral issue,” said Assemblymember Kalra. “Make no mistake, predatory lenders do not just use exorbitant interest rates to entrap borrowers, they use lending tactics to mislead, misrepresent, and ultimately penalize impoverished communities.”
