CRL's amicus brief in support of the plaintiff class in Andrews v. Chevy Chase Bank, FSB. CRL argues that the Truth in Lending Act allows a borrower, who was one of thousands of borrowers who received identically deficient disclosure statements for Chevy Chase Bank payment option adjustment rate mortgages, to file a class action seeking rescission of the loans before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit. The district court granted certification of the plaintiff's class.

CRL's amicus brief in support of Michigan Commissioner of Insurance and Financial Services Watters in Watters v. Wachovia Bank. CRL, along with a number of other consumer groups, argues that Michigan's mortgage broker licensing law applies to employees of a national bank's operating subsidiary notwithstanding the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's regulation treating a national bank's operating subsidiary as the same as the national bank itself for preemption purposes before the U.S. Supreme Court. The Sixth Circuit ruled in favor of Wachovia.

CRL's amicus briefs in support of the New York Attorney General in Cuomo v. The Clearing House Association, L.L.P. CRL, along with a number of consumer groups, argues that the National Bank Act's "visitorial powers" provision does not prohibit the New York Attorney General from enforcing the state's anti-discrimination law against national banks concerning their mortgage lending practices, and that the Office of the Comptroller of Currency's regulation treating this as prohibited is invalid. CRL participated in this case before the U.S. District Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
