Louisiana: Compare Lawful Borrowing Alternatives
Look at the Louisiana options below if a short repayment window does not suit the expense you need to cover.
Investigate a creditor arrangement
Ask the organization owed money whether it can offer a revised payment schedule; get any fees and consequences explained before relying on an informal conversation.
Request institutional loan terms
Check whether a bank or credit union can review a small personal-loan request and provide an installment schedule; approval and product availability require its assessment.
Ask about the existing debt plan
If you already owe a covered transaction, discuss the statutory repayment plan in time, including installment timing and the restriction on new borrowing with that licensee.
What Louisiana Rules Mean for Your Loan Cost
Use Louisiana's adjusted limit and updated fee rules to compare the cash, repayment date and help available.
From September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, Louisiana permits deferred-presentment principal up to $740; the separate statutory small-loan category is capped at $370. The deferred-presentment term cannot exceed 30 days.
The fee may reach 16.75% of check face value. Act 510 removed the former $45 ceiling effective August 1, 2025; other charges are allowed only as specified by statute, so do not assume an extra flat fee.
Renewals are generally barred, with a statutory route for the remainder after payment of 25% of principal plus fees. If you cannot repay, request the no-extra-fee extended plan before the due date, subject to the hospitalization exception: once per 12 months per lender, at least four substantially equal installments and no new transaction with that licensee until paid. Its first payment is normally no sooner than 30 days unless an income-based shorter interval is agreed.
| Governing law | Louisiana Deferred Presentment and Small Loan Act, La.R.S.9:3578.1-.9; 2025 Act 510 |
|---|---|
| Product under state law | Deferred presentment transaction (separate small loan category) |
| Maximum amount | $740 - Deferred presentment principal September 1 2026-August31 2027 per OFI adjustment. Separate statutory small-loan category maximum $370 for this period. |
| Loan term | Up to 30 days |
| Fees and interest | At most 16.75% of check face amount. Former $45 ceiling removed by Act 510 effective August 1 2025. Other fees only as specifically allowed in R.S.9:3578.4(C), including cross-references; no unverified $10+ fee assumed. |
| Rollovers and renewals | Generally prohibited; statute permits new deferred transaction/renewed small loan for remainder after payment of 25% principal plus fees. |
| Extended payment plan | Once in 12 months per lender; request before due date (hospitalization exception). At least four substantially equal installments, no extra fees/interest, first due no sooner than 30 days absent agreed income-based shorter interval. No new transaction with licensee until fully repaid. |
| Returned-payment fee | R.S.9:3578.4(B): actual depository returned-check fee may be reimbursed once per check. Section 3578.4(C) also expressly permits R.S.9:3529 charges: a contracted returned-payment charge no greater than the greater of $25 or 5% of the returned check/electronic payment. Do not describe either as 5% of cash advanced. |
| Criminal prosecution | Cannot threaten prosecution or refer check for prosecution because returned NSF. |
