Email thread : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( 1 hour ago ) to customerservice Hi, I am having issues paying back my loan unfortunately but I also found out you do not give loans to people in PA, which I am and always been located. When contacting the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities I was instructed that I am obligated, under pennsylvania law, to pay back the principle amount of the loan, but no more than 6 % simple interest if the lender is unlicensed in PA. 
They asked that I contact the Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as they are taking complaints now on this subject but I have not done that yet. 
Please advise.
