Subprime Lending Stories From Around The Country
To those reputable professionals in the mortgage lending industry, I'm sure you realize that the bad actors are ruining it for everyone. Industry credibility is hurting (see, for example, 2 In 3 Say Mortgage Ads Are Full Of Baloney, Says Poll). You better get your state regulators and professional organizations to do something about it quickly before the Federal government steps in and does it for you.
(Maybe one day the lending laws will change to (a) require uniform licensing requirements throughout the country and (b) create fiduciary responsibility on the part of the loan originators to the consumer - at least it will make it that much easier to keep some of the unscrupulous bad actors out of the industry, and it will also make it easier to go after those that do get in and hammer them and the companies employing them in a court of law.)
