Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois

Re: Finance Charges

It would be difficult, if not impossible, to offer an opinion on the subject w/out a review of your contract and applicable law.

If you would like to contact me for possible retention regarding these issues, please feel free.

Re: Finance Charges

With the amounts that they charge, the rates may approach or actually be usurious under state law. It would be a lot cheaper to go to a bank and get a line of credit to pay your bills. Check with the Illinois State Attorney's Office to see if charges can be brought for the exceedingly high interest rate.
