Article by Paul Shipp of Kansas Legal Services
The number of Payday lenders has grown at an oddly rapid rate over the past few decades, mainly in low income areas. Typically these lenders market directly to low income borrowers, notably those on a steady, fixed, and certain income. Borrowers are often at or below the poverty level; many live off only fixed incomes and are elderly or disabled.
Kansas Legal Services wants to help Kansans who need legal services, but we also want to help Kansans who decide to represent themselves in court.
We have put together two videos. One video describes the best ways to get ready to go to court. The other video tells you what to expect once you are actually in court.
Please view either video, or both, and give us your feedback in one or more of the links below.
Check out two videos to help you know your rights in debt collection and also how to deal with debt collectors.

Special report from the Center for Responsible Lending, June 2023
The national Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) reports that single-payment and payday installment loans in 31 states drain more than $2.2 billion in fees per year from borrowers whose average incomes are approximately $25,000 a year.
Car-title loans drain more than $700 million annually from borrowers in 17 states.
Together these predatory loans drain almost $3 billion annually from those families who can least afford it.
A powerful set of financial firms have delayed federal investigations or punishments into their allegedly predatory lending practices, as they seize on an industry-led lawsuit challenging the future of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
