Principal among these loans tailored for high-risk subprime borrowers, often without adequate checks on income and repayment potential, and high-interest, short-term financing. Included in this second group are payday and tax-refund-anticipation loans – both taken t tide borrower over until expected income is received – as well as credit card late-payment fees and checking account overdraft fees. The fees charged on these short-term advances often amount to an annual interest rate well in excess of the market rate for high-risk. Lenders dispute that these fees are interest.
