CFPB Straightens Out Dental Work Lender
Springstone Financial, which was recently purchased by LendingClub Corp., had 9,000 dental providers participating in its financing program. Many offices presented the loans as "interest free," but if consumers failed to pay the total amount during the promotional period, they were hit with a 22.98% interest rate. The CFPB has ordered the company to refund customers. [8/20/15]
