What rules protect you in Quebec?

A permit, a high-cost line and no payday loans. Every lender needs a permit from the Office de la protection du consommateur, and banks, caisses and trust companies are the exception. The Office can refuse a permit to a lender charging above 35%.

Credit priced above 22 points over the Bank Rate is high-cost. With the Bank Rate at 2.5%, the line is 24.5%. On a high-cost loan, the lender must check you can repay, and you can cancel within 10 days of receiving your copy. The payday loans in Quebec page explains why there is no payday loan.
