#DYK: Paying only the minimum on a $1,000 balance at 18% interest can take over 5 years to pay off, and cost $500+ in interest!
Even a small increase above the minimum can slash your payoff time and reduce total interest. Every extra dollar counts!

This serial con-artist exploited the trust of hardworking Floridians to line his pockets. At 74 years old, he is still preying on victims without remorse.
Let this be a warning: no matter your age or history, if you exploit Floridians, we will find you, and we will bring you to justice.

This wasn’t just theft—it was betrayal. This con artist abused his position of trust to drain a vulnerable Floridian’s life savings, and it's unacceptable.
This guilty verdict is a victory for our Statewide Prosecutors, the Office of Financial Regulation, and the people of Florida.
