I think payday loan places somehow manage to get away with outrageous usury as well. Unless I'm mistaken (or unless things have changed recently), I think the loophole they exploit is charging immense fees, and not referring to it as interest, so it's not covered by the usury law.

Actually, I'd like to clarify that I really don't know if that's the way they get away with that. I really don't know how payday loans work for sure, but someone I know once got I think a $400 loan for something like $60, so, I'm just assuming the payday loan sharks get away with it by calling it a fee rather than interest.
