The Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio derailed a class action lawsuit aimed at keeping payday lenders from using the state's criminal justice system as de facto collection agencies. The suit filed by 1,400 plaintiffs argued that Cash Biz, a payday lender, illegally used district attorney offices to file criminal charges against debtors. Under the ruling, the plaintiffs will now have to settle their disputes with the firm through individual arbitration.
