But as card holders struggle under the weight of big balances, high interest rates and fees, their pleas to lawmakers for help may well mean that the industry will face some significant regulation by early next year. Regulators are saying, "We missed the mortgage thing by not acting quickly enough," said Edmund Mierzwinski, federal consumer program director for the Public Interest Research Group. The regulators are saying, "People are losing their homes because the banks were unfair. Now we¹ve got the credit card industry. And people will end up in debt for the rest of their lives, and maybe we ought to do something." Travis B. Plunkett, legislative director of the Consumer Federation of America in Washington, agreed that the mood had changed and said he was "virtually sure" there would be some regulation soon. "The question," he said, "is how meaningful it will be." http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/credit-card-overhauls-seem-likely Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:29 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/-of-house-and-home http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/-of-house-and-home Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:30 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/another-hint-of-student-loan-troubles http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/another-hint-of-student-loan-troubles Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:30 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/your-credit-report--know-its-perils-keep-it-clean NPR: Fresh Air from WHYY, July 1, 2008 · http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/your-credit-report--know-its-perils-keep-it-clean Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:29 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/new-changes-will-do-you-good-if-you-have-student-loans USA Today Like your driver's license and your high http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/new-changes-will-do-you-good-if-you-have-student-loans Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:29 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/florida-eyes-subprime-settlement-from-bank-of-america Reuters MIAMI, July 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. state of Florida hopes http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/florida-eyes-subprime-settlement-from-bank-of-america Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:29 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/vacant-homes-spread-blight-in-suburb-and-city-alike Amid housing bust, foreclosures vex communities trying to hold dereliction and crime in check.

Nearly one-third of the spending was by government collections specialist Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson,But the dollars spent total is probably higher than that. CRP cautions that lobbying reports are still coming in from the Senate's Office of Public Records, the source for the data. Companies and trade groups that spend money lobbying Congress are required to file documents every year tracking their spending and the firms they hire. The CRP, a non-partisan research group, gathers the data and posts it on its Web site. Collection industry groups could spend lobbying dollars on a wide variety of issues, from Fair Debt Collection Practices Act reform to government collection contracts.The biggest spender in the industry was Austin, Texas-based Linebarger, paying $650,000 in 2007 on lobbying, up from the $525,000 it spent in 2006. Linebarger was one of the original three companies that worked on the IRS private debt collection contract, but the firm left the contract in early 2007.Sallie Mae's subsidiary Pioneer Credit Recovery is one of two collection agencies still working on the IRS contract. The other, Waterloo, Iowa-based CBE Group, reported spending $200,000 lobbying Congress last year. (On the other side of the issue, the program's main opposition, the National Treasury Employees Union, spent $571,000 on lobbying in 2007.) Other major ARM spenders include industry trade group ACA International doling out last year $460,000, down from the $680,000 it spent in 2006. Debt buyers' group DBA International said it spent $82,000 last year, up from $40,000 in 2006. Several individual companies also made an appearance on the list, some for the first time. ARM industry heavyweight NCO Group spent $70,000 on lobbying efforts, up from the $40,000 it spent in 2006. Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. (OSI) * which NCO recently acquired ("NCO Group Completes Acquisition of OSI," March 3) * paid lobbyists $120,000 in 2007 compared with $40,000 in 2006. Toledo, Ohio-based United Collection Bureau spent $120,000 on lobbying last year, doubling the amount it spent in 2006. Canadian collection agency Allied International Credit Corp., Buffalo, N.Y.-based Creditors Interchange, and Houston-based GC Services all reported paying lobbyists $40,000 each last year. West Asset Management, a division of call center operator West Corp., also spent $40,000 on lobbying in 2007, a year that marked WAM's first entry on the list. Putting together a total spending figure for the industry is complicated by the nature of the business. For example, student loan provider Sallie Mae * which has extensive debt collection operations * reported spending $4,040,000 on lobbying last year. But the company did not report how much it spent specifically on debt collection or ARM lobbying. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/collectors-spent-1_9-million-to-lobby-congress Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:15 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/editorial-credit-crunch-more-regulation-please TradingMarkets.com (St. Louis Post-Dispatch - McClatchy-Tribune Information http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/editorial-credit-crunch-more-regulation-please Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:15 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/regulation-pendulum-swinging-the-other-way Administration proposal for more market oversight highlights shift in thinking.

Several industry forecasters have sharply cut their projections for new-vehicle sales to less than 15.5 million this year, and abandoned rosy predictions for a rebound in the second half. The gloomy outlook —reflecting credit turmoil, the housing crisis and the softening economy — will probably lead to more production cuts by car companies. But the good news for buyers is that they can expect better deals to draw them into the showroom. The broader economic woes prompted the marketing firm J. D. Power & Associates to cut its annual forecast to 14.95 million vehicles, from 15.7 million — the lowest sales level since 1995. “The auto market is entering into a true recessionary phase, which is something we have not seen in the last 10 years,” said Bob Schnorbus, the firm’s chief economist. The industry has been selling at an annualized rate of 15.2 million vehicles through the first three months of the year, but appears headed for an even worse spring season. Moreover, analysts are now hedging predictions for a stronger second half of the year, despite the Federal Reserve’s move on Tuesday to cut interest rates to stabilize the financial markets. With consumers short of cash and deep in debt, many prospective buyers are finding it difficult to secure financing for a new car. Automotive finance companies are fearful of repeating the mistakes of subprime lenders in the housing industry and are generally declining to make risky vehicle loans. “We are faced with the dilemma of lowering our credit standards to put them in a car, or saying no,” said Michael J. Jackson, chairman of AutoNation, the largest auto retailer in the United States. “And we’re telling them no.” Mr. Jackson said that another class of customer was ready and able to buy, but was holding out for higher incentives. “They’re not sure that the pricing has reached its bottom,” he said. “They think there may be another mother-of-all incentive programs on the horizon.” Ken Peress, a college administrator in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., is in that camp. “I’m looking for a fun car to buy, but I’m also looking for the best possible deal,” Mr. Peress said. “I want to see what the manufacturers are going to do with deals, negotiating and financing.” Analysts expect that automakers will soon open the spigot on cash rebates and other incentives to drive more traffic into the showrooms. The highest annual average for incentives was in 2004, when automakers put $2,603 worth of rebates on the hood. The average in January and February of this year was $2,469 for each car, said Jesse Toprak, executive director for industry analysis for the buying guide site Edmunds.com. “We expect incentives to go up and go up soon,” Mr. Toprak said. “We might even reach record numbers.” So far this year, Detroit’s Big Three automakers have chosen to cut production levels to reduce inventories rather than begin an incentive war. “Because of the new U.A.W. contract, the manufacturers have much more flexibility to adjust production at the plant level,” said Mr. Schnorbus of J. D. Power. Robert L. Nardelli, the chairman of Chrysler, said his company had already committed to extensive production cuts this year. “We didn’t build in a second-half recovery,” Mr. Nardelli said in a speech Wednesday at the New York International Auto Show. But he added that higher gas prices and the worsening economy were “hard to anticipate” and the market could be worse than Chrysler projected. “If we were wrong and not conservative enough, we’ll be quick to adjust,” he said. Alan Mulally, chief executive of the Ford Motor Company, told an investors conference Wednesday that Ford’s production plan for 2008 was based on industry sales of 15.7 million new vehicles. He said that first-quarter sales came in “at the low end” of what the company expected. Despite weakness in the market, Mr. Mulally played down any need for Ford to accelerate its overhaul efforts to offset lower sales. “We have the cash, we have the liquidity,” he said. “We just have to stay on our plan.” Chrysler, Ford and General Motors are all in the midst of major reorganizations that include further cuts in their blue-collar work forces.

"If a borrower had a pulse, he or she could qualify for one of Fremont's products," former Fremont account executive, Thai Lee, said in an affidavit filed this week as part of a lawsuit Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley brought against the California subprime lender. Lee and Jeffrey McKay, another Fremont account executive, in affidavits filed in Suffolk Superior Court, provided a glimpse inside the aggressive sales culture at a company that was once one of the nation's largest subprime lenders and the second largest in Massachusetts. They described a company where salespeople targeted both high-cost housing markets and minority neighborhoods to generate mortgages the company could then sell to Wall Street firms with enormous appetites for these high-risk loans. In its lawsuit against Fremont, Coakley's office alleged predatory lending and fraud were systemic inside the company, making McKay's and Lee's state ments central to the state's argument. The state this week asked the court to stop Fremont from foreclosing on 500 Massachusetts homeowners. Fremont did not respond yesterday to requests to comment. But earlier this week, its attorneys denied the firm engaged in fraud and said it was not responsible for rogue brokers from firms outside Fremont or for borrowers who may have committed fraud. Lee and McKay were both involved in selling loans in the Boston area. They oversaw squads of brokers who worked outside the company and who were the primary source of prospective loan customers. They also helped the brokers process loan documents. Both worked for Fremont between early 2003 and March 2006, when the subprime lending market was booming. They said they refused to process fraudulent or questionable mortgages submitted by loan brokers. But when McKay complained to supervisors, "I received the impression Fremont did not want to cancel the brokers' accounts for fear of upsetting the brokers or losing business," he said. To help brokers entice new customers, Fremont rolled out special offers for loans to people with poor credit ratings as low as 550 or even 500, according to sales fliers filed in court; the minimum for a traditional mortgage is about 680. McKay said Fremont loan salespeople targeted expensive housing markets, such as California, Massachusetts, and New York, because mortgages there generated larger commissions for the brokers. Brokers also targeted minority neighborhoods in Lawrence, Quincy, and Dorchester for "stated-income" subprime mortgages, he said in his statement. He said brokers selling these loans in low-income neighborhoods "were too lazy, uneducated, or inexperienced" to sell other products. Stated-income mortgages do not require prospective customers to prove the income they declare on their loan application. Fremont checked a borrower's income to determine if it matched what others in the same field earned using websites such as salary.com. Stated-income loans, Lee said, "were prone to abuse, particularly when combined with" no- or low-down-payment terms. Lee said in his statement that investors with a huge appetite for loans, such as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, "influenced the types of products Fremont would sell." He said he used Fremont's easy qualifying terms as a "sales tool" to persuade loan brokers to sell Fremont's subprime loans to borrowers. Fremont's primary mortgage product provided 100 percent financing - no down payment - and carried an initial teaser rate that was set to increase automatically two years after the loan was made. Fremont executives intended these high-cost mortgages to be temporary, Lee said, expecting borrowers to refinance within months, as the value of their homes rose. When the housing market entered a downturn in 2006, subprime mortgages caused an unprecedented foreclosure crisis in Massachusetts and nationwide. Many subprime borrowers could not meet their increasing payments, but they were unable to refinance their subprime mortgages because their house values had plunged. In Massachusetts, lenders seized more than 6,500 homes through foreclosure through November 2007, according to Warren Group, a Boston real estate and research firm.

But 41% agree strongly that mortgage brokers should be better regulated. According to the Wall Street Journal Online/Harris Interactive poll, conducted Dec. 10-12, a quarter of respondents agree that the government should provide financial help for mortgage holders, while 20% disagree and another 22% strongly disagree. The survey of 2,082 U.S. adults, of whom 1,331 are homeowners, shows a strong consensus that mortgage brokers should be better regulated to make sure borrowers obtain only those mortgages they can afford; 41% strongly agree, 23% somewhat agree and only 7% disagree. When asked who's most responsible for the trouble in the housing market and mortgage business, half blamed mortgage lenders and brokers, while 21% said government regulators are responsible and 16% said home buyers are to blame. Nearly half of those surveyed also say direct lenders are most responsible for making sure borrowers are able to pay their mortgages and that they should be required to modify loan terms for mortgage holders who can't afford their current terms. By comparison, 15% disagree and 24% said they neither agree nor disagree. Several policy moves are under way to help struggling homeowners, including a plan to freeze interest rates for some subprime mortgage borrowers and the Federal Reserve's move to offer banks special funding at lower-than-usual rates so they can lend more. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-wall-street-journal7 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:06 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-wall-street-journal8 Lender Lobbying Blitz http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-wall-street-journal8 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:06 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times15 PAUL KRUGMAN: Blindly Into the Bubble - There was a definite Hirohito feel to the explanation Ben Bernanke, the http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times15 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:06 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times16 A Crisis Long Foretold - A truism of crisis management is that most seemingly out-of-the-blue http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times16 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:06 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times14 Fed Shrugged as Subprime Crisis Spread: WASHINGTON — Until the boom in subprime mortgages turned into a national nightmare this summer, the few people who tried to warn federal banking officials might as well have been talking to themselves. Had officials bothered to look, frightening clues of the coming crisis were available. The Center for Responsible Lending, a nonprofit group based in North Carolina, analyzed records from across the country and found that default rates on subprime loans soared to 20 percent in cities where home prices stopped rising or started to fall. “The Federal Reserve could have stopped this problem dead in its tracks,” said Martin Eakes, chief executive of the center. “If the Fed had done its job, we would not have had the abusive lending and we would not have a foreclosure crisis in virtually every community across America.” Full article: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/18/business/18subprime.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times14 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:06 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-associated-press4 Anti-Predatory Lending Bill Passes House Financial Services Committee, heads to full House The Associated Press, November, 2007 WASHINGTON http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-associated-press4 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:06 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/banks-alter-loan-terms-to-head-off-foreclosures The New York Times Even as political pressure builds in Washington for a sweeping program http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/banks-alter-loan-terms-to-head-off-foreclosures Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:40 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/yahoo-finance Buy Now, Pay Forever: Yahoo!

Some predatory lenders target borrowers with marginal credit histories, enticing them with low teaser rates for the early years of the loan. When the housing market declines, the borrowers find themselves smothered by escalating payments in houses worth less than they bought them for. At that point, walking away often looks like the best option. For the neighborhood, however, it is disastrous when abandoned houses and blight start to spread across entire blocks. It took decades for Boston to recover from a similar scenario in Mattapan in the 1960s, when lenders also tossed responsible underwriting standards out the window... In the long term, Congress needs to set limits on national mortgage lenders. Right now, all efforts should be aimed at breaking their grip on local neighborhoods. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-boston-globe4 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:05 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/abc-news Ameriquest Under Fire - watch the video: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3730643 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/abc-news Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:05 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times11 Study Finds Disparities in Mortgages by Race - Home buyers in predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods in New York City were more likely to get their mortgages last year from a subprime lender than home buyers in white neighborhoods with similar income levels, according to a new analysis of home loan data by researchers at New York University. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times11 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:04 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/cnn-money---investors-business-daily Presidential Hopefuls, Congress Toss the Housing Hot Potato http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/cnn-money---investors-business-daily Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:04 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/aarp-bulletin A Matter of Life and Debt - Interview with James Scurlock http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/aarp-bulletin Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:04 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times10 The Amerian Dream In Reverse (Editorial) http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times10 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:04 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-associated-press2 Number of Homeless Families Rises - Kehoe attributes the increase in Massachusetts to a convergence of low wages, high housing costs, an increase in housing foreclosures and cuts in federal and state housing assistance programs.

While scholarship, grant money and government-backed student loans - whose interest rates are capped - have taken up some of the slack, many families and individual students have turned to private loans, which carry fees and interest rates that are often variable and up to 20 percent. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-associated-press Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:03 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times6 Stranger at the Door: CHANTÉE JOHNSON says her earliest memory of the house on 178th Street in Springfield Gardens, Queens, is the day in the early 1970s when her parents took her and her siblings to see their new home. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times6 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:03 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times7 Can These Mortgages Be Saved? http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times7 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:03 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/washington-post The Shadow of Debt http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/washington-post Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:04 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times8 Six Fingers of Blame in the Mortgage Mess http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times8 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:04 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-republican2 Housing advocates aid clients http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-republican2 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:04 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/birmingham-business-journal Bachus introduces bill to combat predatory lending http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/birmingham-business-journal Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:03 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/united-press-international Military Lending Act to take effect http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/united-press-international Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:04 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/usa-today2 Citi sends unrequested credit cards http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/usa-today2 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:03 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/akron-beacon-journal Foreclosure epidemic hits Summit County with a fury http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/akron-beacon-journal Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:03 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-wall-street-journal3 Study Discounts Risk From Late-Paying Cardholders http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-wall-street-journal3 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:02 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times5 Risky Loans Help Build Ghost Town of New Homes http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times5 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:02 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/bogalusa-daily-news-louisiana Helping Hand or Predator Lending?

Publicly, the University of Iowa and Iowa State University have expressed concern over the debt of their students, many of whom graduate with $25,000 to $30,000 in bills to pay. The schools say they are trying to reduce that debt load. At the same time, however, the two schools have signed deals with their alumni associations in which they have agreed to endorse, promote and profit from Bank of America credit cards marketed directly to students. Records obtained by The Des Moines Register also show that the U of I has agreed to give the bank access to databases that include the mailing addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of students, parents and people who buy tickets to Hawkeye football and basketball games. The university has also promised to provide its biggest-spending cardholders with exclusive access to university facilities, coaches and even student athletes. The practice is part of a widespread but increasingly controversial effort by colleges and universities nationwide to form partnerships with for-profit lenders. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/des-moines-register Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:03 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/abc7-kgo Predatory Lending Practices Prevalent http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/abc7-kgo Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:02 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/star-tribune Negotiating to avoid foreclosure http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/star-tribune Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:03 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/el-paso-times Borrow safely drive launched http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/el-paso-times Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:02 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/kc-community-news FBI agent warns about predatory lending in home mortgages http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/kc-community-news Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:02 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/associated-content Predatory Payday Loans a Growing Problem in California, Group Says http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/associated-content Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:02 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-wall-street-journal2 Bush Wants to Expand Mortgage Disclosures: Prior Plan to Boost Borrower Awareness of Costs is Revived http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-wall-street-journal2 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:01 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/cnnmoney_com Congress warned: Easy on loan fix - Treasury boss Paulson and Fed chief Bernanke tell House panel what they are doing on mortgage crisis and express concern over some proposals. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/cnnmoney_com Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:02 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/santa-cruz-sentinel Latinos ask regulators to curb predatory lending http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/santa-cruz-sentinel Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:01 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/cnn3 "Caught in a Toxic Mortgage" - Meet the Olivers: good credit and low risk.

Bank of America Corp. increased its surcharge from $2 to $3 for most of its machines in two phases, at the end of July and at the end of August. The increase prompted several other companies to do the same. A coalition of consumer and advocacy groups said Wednesday that B of A's new surcharge would put "an unconscionable squeeze on low- and middle-income bank consumers." The coalition, which also includes Americans for Fairness in Lending, the California Reinvestment Coalition, the Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, and the Woodstock Institute, wants to call attention to the rising surcharges, but it has no plans to advocate legal or legislative action over B of A's $3 fee. http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/american-banker Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:00 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/usa-today Housing costs punish family budgets http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/usa-today Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:00 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times3 Housing Costs Consumed More of Paychecks in 2006 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-new-york-times3 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:00 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/forbes3 Mortgage Liability Issue to Hit Congress http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/forbes3 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:01 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/associated-press2 Mortgage Rejection Rates Higher in 2006 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/associated-press2 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:01 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/winston-salem-journal2 Loan bill gets work: N.C. predatory lending law is heavy influence http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/winston-salem-journal2 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:00 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-hill Frank prepares bill to curb predatory mortgage lending http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-hill Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:59 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/austin-weekly-news New bill will protect against *predatory lending* http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/austin-weekly-news Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:02 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-los-angeles-times2 Mortgage mess echoes in Congress http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-los-angeles-times2 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:59 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-washington-post3 Fending Off The Mortgage Crunch: Homeowners Who Fall Behind Have Options to Help Avoid Foreclosure http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-washington-post3 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:58 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/citizens-voice Focus again is on lending oversight http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/citizens-voice Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:59 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-washington-post4 Where to turn for help - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/31/AR2007083102346.html?sub=AR http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-washington-post4 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:39:00 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media2/lending-in-the-news/lending-in-the-news/the-albany-times-union Bush Acts to Prevent Home Foreclosures: "It’s sort of amazing that he’s just taking action on this now," said Kirsten Keefe, an attorney with the Empire Justice Center in Albany and the executive director of Americans for Fairness in Lending.

But homeowners in distress could face a double whammy: A growing scam is exploiting people who are in foreclosure in a way that leaves them with nothing. ... "I think this is one most outrageous scams in the United States at this time," said Elizabeth Renuart of the National Consumer Law Center. Renuart says such shady deals are skyrocketing as the mortgage market implodes. "Financial distress is the weakness that they exploit because people are so concerned about losing their homes they’ll do almost anything to save them," she said. http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/cbs-news-investigates-foreclosure-rescue-scams Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:52 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/the-los-angeles-times Overdraft Fees Huge but Hushed http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/the-los-angeles-times Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:50 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/usa-today4 Banks make billions more on overdrafts http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/usa-today4 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:50 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/the-washington-post10 Mortgage Companies Sued in Prince George's: As home buyers have become unable to make their mortgage payments because they received loans they could not afford or the interest rates on their adjustable-rate mortgages have risen, they have become easy prey for scam artists, consumer advocates say. Alys Cohen, a lawyer with the National Consumer Law Center in Washington, said the housing market has made the climate ripe for such schemes. "The worst part about this is that many of these people are in these positions because of abusive lending, and then to add insult to injury, they end up being taken advantage of on the back end also," Cohen said. http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/the-washington-post10 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:50 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/the-boston-globe5 2,200 to get reprieves on foreclosures: Facing threat of a suit, subprime lender to let state review mortgages http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/the-boston-globe5 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:38:51 -0600 http://www.affil.org/media/affil_news/in-the-news/omaha-world-herald Omaha got low ranking in mortgage fairness: More than half the loans to Omaha blacks in 2005 were high-cost, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition of Washington, D.C., said, compared with one out of five for whites.
