The Fed held its target range for its bank lending rate at zero to 0.25 percent, where it's been since December 2008. In response, commercial banks' prime lending rate has remained about 3.25 percent.

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011.

What role did mortgage marketing practices play in the U.S. credit crisis? Was it the result of greedy lenders, deceptive loan originators, creators of mortgage-backed securities, and complacent investors? Or were consumers complicit with lenders in a market bubble fed by easy credit and a laissez-faire government? Critics claim that many contracts for loans at risk of default were the result of unscrupulous lending practices. Greedy lenders preyed on unsophisticated and vulnerable borrowers. Aggressive lenders steered creditworthy borrowers into profitable but risky subprime loans. Lenders (and borrowers) committed fraud. The U.S. government failed to protect borrowers and encouraged loose lending standards. As a result, loose lending standards destabilized the housing market. Industry...

Two million homes will be at risk for foreclosure by 2008," said [Jesse Jackson]. "We need to restructure loans to avoid these foreclosures. Without it, the country is bound to go into recession. "This is not about literacy, not about ignorance," he said. "Most foreclosures result from shady products that have been promoted by sub-prime lenders ultimately financed by Wall Street." "It is not the availabihty of sub-prime mortgages that has brought about this meltdown," he said. "It is the way these loans have been used by fly-by-night brokers to exploit and taint the dream of homeownership for countless urban residents." The issue at hand, sub-prime lending, is the practice of financing a loan using adjustable rate mortgages that often have low or negative amortization for the first tw...
