We've covered issues like predatory lending and usury laws plenty of times on Living for the City, and our primary guest to discuss these issues has been Andy Morrison, associate director of the New Economic Project. He's back today to talk about some new rules from the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, NYS agencies and enforcement, and advocacy groups including the powerful healthcare workers union, 1199/SEIU, who are pushing for greater enforcement and crack downs on payday loans while there's a growing threat posed by Big Tech and its attempts to circumvent existing laws & protections.
