Welcome to the Voluntary Loan Refund Program
The claims filing deadline has been extended to June 1, 2013.
Cash America International, Inc has announced a voluntary program to fully reimburse approximately 14,000 Ohio customers for funds collected in connection with legal proceedings initiated by the Company in Ohio from January 1, 2008 through October 1, 2012 seeking the collection of past due loan amounts owed to the Company. If you have had funds collected as the result of a collections lawsuit for a past due loan with Ohio Neighborhood Finance, Inc., d/b/a Cashland; Cash America Pawn, Inc. of Ohio; Cashland Financial Services, Inc.; Cash America Net of Ohio, LLC; Ohio Neighborhood Credit Solutions, Inc.; and CNU of Ohio, LLC, you may be eligible for a full refund.
Cash America recently determined that a small number of employees did not prepare some court documents properly in many of its Ohio collections legal proceedings. While the Company believes the filed documents accurately depict the existence and amount of the debts owed to the Company under consumer lending contracts, the preparation and filing of these documents did not always comply with certain court rules.
Cash America will voluntarily reimburse all amounts received through collections legal proceedings
initiated by the Company in Ohio, from January 1, 2008 through October 1, 2012, plus interest, including the reimbursement of amounts collected in connection with legal proceedings that were not affected by the improper document preparation. The Company has engaged The Garden City Group, Inc. ("GCG") to conduct the reimbursement program and to ensure the most comprehensive reimbursement possible. In addition, for all trial court collections proceedings filed in Ohio since January 1, 2008 with the exception of one appellate matter, Cash America will promptly file dismissals, terminate all existing post-judgment collections activities, and request to vacate each judgment entered and/or notify credit reporting bureaus of the vacated judgments, as necessary for each case. While Cash America is taking these actions proactively, it could still be subject to other liabilities, and additional changes in its business practices may also be required.
Cash America has voluntarily disclosed this issue and its intent to implement the reimbursement program
to state and federal regulators and will continue to keep regulators informed on the progress of the program and the other measures it will take in connection with this issue.
