Predatory Lending Awareness

Predatory lending refers to the unscrupulous or abusive practices of a small number of banks and lenders. Victims often experience high interest-rate loans, excessive or unnecessary fees, and deceptive techniques used to trick borrowers into taking loans they cannot afford. The information covered in this pamphlet may help you in making wise financial choices and in protecting your most impotant asset—your home.
