Do Not Borrow Trouble: Protecting Our Community From Predatory Lending
Practices
The HRC held a free community workshop on predatory lending practices on Tuesday, April 9, 2002 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Lexington. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the depth of the problem of predatory lending in our community. Two (2) groups of panelists consisting of affordable housing activists, housing counselors, fair housing specialists, state regulators and federal enforcement agencies defined the issue in national terms while examining the issue from a local perspective. Specifically, the panelists shared their experience with predatory lending in our community and the remedies available to combat the issue of predatory lending.
