Federal Trade Commission Pursues Leawood Payday Lender

Payday loans can be a way to help people out of a financial jam, but borrowers can wind up paying fees greater than the initial loan. We look at payday lender Scott Tucker and why the Federal Trade Commission is seeking $1.32 billion from him.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
