Atlanta, Georgia – On or about April 25, 2024, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (“Department”) served an Order to Cease and Desist (“Order”) to Brittany Janifer Anderson for engaging in activities in violation of the Georgia Installment Loan Act (“GILA”), O.C.G.A. § 7-3-1 et seq. The Order became final on June 10, 2024.
The Order provided that the Department had evidence that Ms. Anderson engaged in unlawful activities during the course of her employment with a licensed installment lender.
