The Virginia’s State Corporation Commission latest annual report says that predatory car title lending is thriving in Virginia . With nearly three dozen car title lenders between Alexandria and Quantico on U.S. 1, this is troubling news, except to the lenders out to make big profits. You can read the full report on my online newsletter –The Dixie Pig – at scottsurovell.blogspot.com.
Car title lending began in our state in 2010 after Virginia limited interest rates on payday loans and predatory lenders argued that a new option was needed. Virginia law authorizes lenders to lend money at rates up to 30% per month which equates to around a 297% annual percentage rate (APR). A consumer can borrow up to 50% of their vehicle’s equity and the loan term is limited.
As I’ve knocked on doors and talked on the phone with fellow residents this spring, I’ve learned just how much the people of Prince William County truly care about our community. They recognize our strengths and our weaknesses. They celebrate our successes, but they also clearly feel the impacts of the challenges we face together.
Whether it’s over-crowded classrooms in our schools, stifling traffic on our roads or slow economic development and job growth in our County, these are the issues that hit closest to home for Prince William families. They are also the issues that we have the greatest opportunity to address right here at the local level.
Winning the Republican nomination was a team effort and I am extremely humbled and appreciative of our dedicated supporters. In just a few months, our campaign knocked on over 3,500 doors and made over 4,000 phone calls. We had an aggressive outreach plan in both counties and it was clear that our hard work paid off as the returns came in. Winning Stafford County by 19 points and Prince William County by 13 points showed broad support for my message of improving our infrastructure, leaner, more efficient government, and improving education opportunities for our youth.
Thanks goes to Tim Ciampaglio for stepping into the public square. I know first hand how tough it can be on one’s family to be thrust into the public eye. Moving forward, I wish Tim and his family the best. He has reached out to me with offers of support in the general election. I will need him and his supporters to win back the House District 2 Delegate seat.
