Political Factoid
Each year, over 7,000
loan sharks (a.k.a. car title lenders)
rake in $1.6 billion in profits
by making $6 billion in loans
to desperate customers
... charging over 300% interest
on loans averaging $950
(but costing the customer
over $2,100 to keep from
having their car repossessed).
