alfa, I managed a pawn shop for 20 years, we charged 20% interest a month. and the interest didn't come off the principal.

it was completely legal. and I was writing loans from when we opened til when we closed. nowadays payday loans are the sharks, and juice guys,

some states ban payday loans, under ussery laws, they charge more interest than loan sharks and they are legal, go figure.
