There is regulation in many states.

The problem is the default rate.

Example: An investor issues loans for $100k at $1k each. He charges the legal 30% interest to make $30k profit / return on his money. However, 30-40% of the borrowers default and these are unsecured loans. He makes 0% return. He stops offering these loans and now these people don’t have the access to these credit facilities.
