Coalition for Responsible Lending 

Organization protects homeowners from unscrupulous lenders. Find a description of predatory lending and suggestions on preventing this practice.
Predatory lending, in the form of abusive subprime mortgage loans, payday loans, tax refund loans, and other lending scams, strips $16 BILLION in wealth from low-income consumers and communities in the U.S. each year. The Center for Responsible Lending is fighting to stop these financial abuses through legislative and policy advocacy, coalition-building, litigation, and industry research.
