What Ohio Law Guarantees You
Extensions: Ohio does not permit rollovers, so the loan ends on its scheduled date. Cancellation: you may rescind the loan, End of 3rd business day, at no cost. The Ohio Division of Financial Institutions licenses lenders and takes complaints. Check any company against that list before signing; the Ohio state page has the direct link.
