Betts and Reuter v. McKenzie Check Advance of Florida (now doing business as Advance America), LLC, et al has dragged on for almost 20 years and is now moving forward.  If successful, it could finally mean money back for 1000s of consumers who were exploited and forced to pay exorbitant fees for payday loans.
