Compliance Question of the Week

Question: Is inadequate disclosure a fair lending risk?

ANSWER: 

Fair lending laws contain provisions to address predatory lending practices such as inadequate disclosure - the practice of failing to fully disclose or explain the true costs and risks of loan transactions.

Other predatory lending examples include:  

  • Collateral or equity “stripping”: The practice of making loans that rely on the liquidation value of the borrower's home or other collateral rather than the borrower's ability to repay.
  • Risky loan terms and structures: The practice of making loans with terms or structures that make it more difficult or impossible for borrowers to reduce their indebtedness.
  • Padding or packing: The practice of charging customers unearned, concealed, or unwarranted fees.
  • Flipping: The practice of encouraging customers to frequently refinance mortgage loans solely for the purpose of earning loan-related fees.
  • Single-premium credit insurance: The requirement to obtain life, disability, or unemployment insurance for which the consumer does not receive a net tangible financial benefit.
