Pennsylvania’s Attorney General has joined in the filing of a multi-state lawsuit against a personal lending company for alleged predatory and unlawful conduct.
Josh Shapiro alleges that Mariner Finance charged customers for hidden add-on products that consumers either didn’t know about or didn’t agree to buy.
The lawsuit asks the court for full restitution for all borrowers with Mariner Finance, repayment by Mariner of unlawfully gained profits, civil penalties, and reformation of all contracts or loan agreements to stop charging consumers for add-on products.
Mariner Finance is owned by a Wall Street private equity fund and has 39 branches in Pennsylvania including one at Moraine Pointe Plaza and another in Cranberry Township.
Anyone who has experienced issues with Mariner Finance should call the Bureau of Consumer Protection or file a complaint online through the Attorney General’s website.
