Assembly Democrats Take Action to Relieve Sub-prime Mortgage

(Sacramento) -- As the sub-prime mortgage crisis continues to ravage families throughout the state and the nation Assembly Democrats are moving forward with legislation to help consumers who are in danger of losing their homes. As we learn in this Assembly Web Report, the Assembly Committee on Banking and Finance has approved legislation from Assemblymembers Ted Lieu, Karen Bass and Alberto Torrico that will require lenders to report how they're helping consumers who face possible foreclosure, that will keep "foreclosure consultants" from using predatory methods to take advantage of homeowners and that will require lenders to provide more and better notifications to homeowners of expected mortgage payment hikes.

Actually I do have an idea about what happens in the industry. I was just laid off from a company involved with the mortgage credit reports. I'll stay a renter for now.

Do you know much about predatory lending? I am living it. It's not fun for sure.
