COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The payday lender Cash America says about 14,000 customers in Ohio who’ve been taken to court for not paying their debts are going to get money back because some employees didn’t prepare the legal paperwork properly.

Cash America said it will reimburse all the money received through collections stemming from legal proceedings initiated by the company in Ohio since the beginning of 2008. Money collected through legal proceedings not affected by the improper paperwork also will be returned, and pending cases will be dismissed.
