Center For Responsible Lending - A Resource For Predatory Lending Opponents

Our Issues FOCUS ON

Solving the Foreclosure Crisis

More than 2 million homeowners who’ve been sold unfair, deceptive home loans will face foreclosure in the next 24 to 36 months.  If companies that helped cause this crisis can be bailed out, then surely we can help ordinary families who are struggling to keep their homes:  Congress can prevent 600,000 foreclosures with no cost to taxpayers.
