I
have recently become aware of the serious problems in America’s lending
industry. I am outraged that consumers no longer enjoy basic
protections against unsafe, abusive loans. Predatory lending practices
are draining assets from hard-working American families and
communities. These predatory lending practices must be stopped.
Loans
and other financial products are complex. They are potentially helpful
and also potentially extremely destructive. Accordingly, loan products
and contracts should be regulated by the government. Only regulation
can protect Americans and our communities from predatory lenders, and
save the American dream.
Please work to establish a fair marketplace for financial products, where lenders act responsibly and treat consumers justly.
Please
ensure that all consumers are treated equally and fairly in the
financial marketplace, regardless of their race, socioeconomic status,
or any other factor.
Please ensure that all lenders are held liable for breaking the law.
And
please promise me that if I am abused by a lender, my complaint will be
justly and fully heard and dealt with in the American justice system.
Thank
you for your attention to this important matter. I trust you will do
all you can to stop predatory lending and save the American dream.
