Consumer Reports letter to the Senate Banking Committee urging lawmakers to rein in rent-a-bank schemes that enable predatory lenders to evade state usury laws by partnering with a nationally chartered bank. CR also called on the Senate to enact a federal usury cap modeled after limits already in place that protect service members.
