You can tell the CFPB your thoughts about the regulations

The CFPB must consider public comments before enacting these new regulations. You can let the agency know your thoughts through Oct. 7.

There can be future legislation regarding payday loans

This proposed regulation does not require action by Congress, so there is no short-term value in writing to your representative.

However, legislation still can address these issues - including limiting the amount of annual interest that can be charged for a loan. It is up to you to let your representative know your thoughts about how they can represent your interests and the interests of most americans (versus the interests of payday lenders).
