Complaint narrative:
I took out a high interest loan due to financial crisis. After working with a XXXX XXXX, he advised me to investigate whether this loan is in fact legal? Due to the fact that the interest rate was a 199 % and the online " lender '' is out of state. 
Online loans are illegal in MN and lenders need an NMLS # to do business in MN. To my knowledge, they don't have an NMLS #. Questioning whether they need an NMLS or if they're " covered '' under the FDIC Bank they're partnering with? 
I have since transferred this loan to another lender at 0 % interest. Do I have any recourse at thi point???

Also, since this was not a loan, how are they reporting late payments? First, pursuant to 12 CFR 1431, banks, which XXXX is claiming to be, can not loan money because they are the borrowers. Second, XXXX has never given me any money, they fraudulently made it look like they let me borrow my OWN money and pay them back. This is absolutely illegal and fraud.

Is this loan legal? And can they be forced to lower interest rate, if so?
