Your Protections as a Florida Borrower
Your protections as a Florida borrower
Rollovers — paying a fee to push the due date back — are not permitted. You also have a statutory right to cancel: End of next business day, at no cost. The Florida Office of Financial Regulation handles licensing and complaints — verify any lender before you sign, and find the complaint route on the Florida state page.
