Heads-Up: Texas CSO/CAB SB1247 Update

From Michael Brown at:
Michael@CreditAccessBusiness.com

Hello All – today I testified at the Senate Business
& Commerce Committee Hearing.  I was able to speak for 3 minutes and did an
adequate job of identifying the biggest issues for our group.  As a follow up to
my comments, please call the Senators offices listed below and leave them this
message.  If you are comfortable please provide your information in the email
and voice mail.

Hello Senator xxxxx

I am a smaller licensed CAB
owner, and I am calling to submit my comments on “SB 1247”.  The small to
mid-size CABs are willing to support many of the new rules proposed in the bill,
however, the “only one loan” rule would be catastrophic for our segment of the
industry.

Senate Bill 1247 will result in a drastic decrease in fee
revenue for my business.  In other states where this rule was imposed it
decreased fee income nearly 50%.

Small business owners will suffer most
if this bill passes as-is and this is why we have no choice but to oppose the
bill.  Please know that stores will close, and Texans will lose their jobs due
to the “only one loan” rule.  After the locations close and access to our
face-to-face loan services become restricted, consumers will simply turn to the
internet to get the loan they need.

I respect our customers and provide
fair services when they need it most – please let me continue to compete for
those customers.  Thank you for listening to our industry’s position and we look
forward to submitting further comments as bill revisions are
considered.

Please email me or call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx if you have any
questions.

We need your help,
Xxxxxxxx
