South Dakota joins lawsuit accusing financial firm of 'bait and switch' loan schemes
OneMain Financial denies accusations brought by 13 state attorneys general, vows 'vigorous' defense
South Dakota is one of 13 states filing a lawsuit against OneMain Financial, Inc., alleging the company misled borrowers and steered them into costly loans with hidden fees.
Attorney General Marty Jackley announced the lawsuit Tuesday. It was filed in the United Stats District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday.
“This company packs its loans with often senseless insurance policies and other add-on products,” Jackley said. “South Dakota consumers are being forced to pay for services they never agreed to and didn’t need.”
