What Ohio Law Guarantees You
Paying a fee to push the due date out is not allowed under state rule. A statutory cancellation right also applies: End of 3rd business day, at no cost. Licensing and complaints run through the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions: verify any lender before signing, and keep the complaint route from the Ohio state page handy.
