Section 441-755-0210 - Unfair or Deceptive Practices

It is an unfair or deceptive practice for a licensee to:

(1) Impose fees contrary to posted information at the location where the payment instrument is cashed.

(2) Refuse to accept valid and current government-issued photo identification presented by the customer, resulting in greater fees being charged to the customer.

(3) Charge fees other than the rate most favorable to the consumer when a payment instrument could fit into more than one category described in ORS 697.520.

(4) Limit the amount of cash provided to a customer or require a customer to receive a payment, in whole or in part, by a method that causes the customer to pay additional or further fees to the licensee or other persons. This section does not apply to a transaction initiated by a customer request for a money order or other alternative forms of payment.

(5) Require a customer to cash separate payment instruments in a manner to avoid the limitations on the fees that may be charged.

(6) Alter or delete any information on a cashed payment instrument.

(7) Charge check-cashing fees on a postdated payment instrument accepted from a customer in a payday loan transaction with a licensee that also holds a short-term lending license.
