Summary
Open-end credit plans; penalty. Requires that any person engaged in the business of extending credit under an open-end credit plan under which interest is charged at an annual rate that exceeds 36 percent obtain a license to do so from the State Corporation Commission. The measure prohibits a person licensed as a motor vehicle title lender from extending credit under an open-end credit plan and prohibits a third party from making open-end credit loans in the office of a licensed motor vehicle title lender. The measure prohibits a person that extends credit under an open-end credit plan under which interest is charged at an annual rate that exceeds 36 percent from (i) obtaining or accepting from a borrower an authorization to electronically debit the borrower's deposit account; (ii) failing to comply with certain restrictions and prohibitions applicable to debt collectors contained in the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act; (iii) filing a legal proceeding against a borrower until 60 days after the date of default on an open-end credit plan, during which period the person and the borrower may voluntarily enter into a repayment arrangement; or (iv) causing a person to be obligated to the licensee for a principal amount that exceeds $500. The measure also makes it a prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act to violate the requirements applicable to extending credit under an open-end credit plan.
