    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:

    Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by Attorney General Michelle A. Henry v Community Loans of America, Inc.

     

    On January 10, 2024, Community Loans of America, Inc. entered into a Assurance of Voluntary Compliance with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office. The settlement states Community Loans of America, Inc., which made thousands of unlawful loans to Pennsylvania borrowers, will pay $2.2 million in restitution to consumers, and, additionally, cancel $3.7 million in remaining debt, under the terms of the settlement. Some of CLA’s loans resulted from leads that CLA bought from third parties who claimed to have physical offices in Pennsylvania. The Office of Attorney General discovered these fake locations by running a web search for “Car Title Loan Philadelphia.” In fact, neither CLA nor its lead generators were in Pennsylvania. Most Pennsylvanians who obtained a loan from CLA drove to one of CLA’s Delaware locations.

     

    This action is final.
