What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
The school district where my child attends school has an extended care program for "after school" instruction and activities. This is for grades K-5.
The program allows a one-time payment of $1550 or weekly payments of $70 a week, totaling $2660. That is a net effective interest rate of greater than 55%.
The effect is to penalize those who can least afford the service. Is this legal? It appears on the surface to be a form of loan sharking.
