House bill targets lenders

from USA Today
Friday, November 16, 2007

The U.S. House on Thursday voted to crack down on mortgage lenders by enacting federal licensing, making them responsible for knowing whether borrowers can repay loans and fining them for steering people to higher-priced subprime loans when other financing is available. The bill now goes to the Senate, where a similar bill has been stalled.
