13 PREDATORY LENDING Prohibited Practices Consumer Information To combat predatory lending, the Florida Fair Lending Act, effective October 2, 2002, prohibits predatory tactics on high cost home loans, including: * Charging prepayment penalties for longer than three years * Increased interest on loans going into default * Balloon payments on loans that mature in less than 10 years * Extending credit regardless of a borrower's ability to pay * Making direct payments to home improvement contractors * Calling a loan due even though the borrower has complied with the terms of the loan * Refinancing a loan during the first 18 months, unless there is a benefit to the borrower * Offering to originate a loan at the borrower's home without a prearranged appointment * Charging late fees that exceed five percent of the payment The new law also requires lenders to disclose certain facts about the loan at least three days prior to closing the deal, including: * A mortgage will be placed on the borrower's home, and they could lose the home in the event of foreclosure. * Interest rates and terms can vary, depending on the lender or broker. * Borrowers should consider consulting a HUD approved credit counseling agency or a financial advisor regarding financing of their home. * Debt consolidation can be a useful tool if the borrower does not take on additional short-term debts. * Loan applicants do not have to accept the loan, even though they have filled out an application. * Changes in loan terms will require another three-day disclosure period
14 Predatory Lending Practices Several predatory lending practices such practices described below. Potential borrowers are pressured into including false information on loan applications or are asked to leave signature lines or other lines blank. The lender or broker alters information entered by the borrower on the loan application. Excessive fees are financed into the loan. Banks generally charge 1-2% of the loan amount in fees to originate the loan. Predatory lenders often finance fees around 8% into a loan. Borrowers pay interest rates which are higher than their credit warrants. Loans are made based on equity without regard to borrower s ability to pay. A loan has prepayment penalties. These penalties negatively affect a borrower s ability to pay off a loan early and can impact the ability to refinance. Loans are made for considerably more than the property is worth. Refinancing is generally not possible if a borrower owes more than the property is worth. A single premium credit insurance policy is financed in the loan amount. Rather than making regular payments for an insurance policy, a borrower is compelled to make one up-front payment and this payment is financed into the loan. Balloon payments make sense for some borrowers but can be extremely harmful to others. Balloon payment mortgages require borrowers to pay off the entire loan balance in one large (balloon) payment after some number of regular payments. Borrowers must often refinance to make the balloon payment. Borrowers are sold loans with negative amortization, wherein the regular payment does not cover the principal and interest on the loan. Despite making regular payments, the loan balance increases. Loan flipping occurs when lenders encourage or pressure borrowers into frequent refinancing. Benefits are often not sufficient to cover the fees charged for each refinance. Lenders place pre-dispute mandatory binding arbitration clauses in loan contracts. These clauses limit the borrower s access to injunctive relief for abuses and borrowers can be required to pay arbitration costs and travel long distances. Tips to Avoid Predatory Lending Deals that sound too good to be true usually are. Ignore high-pressure sales tactics and lenders or brokers who try to rush you. Always shop around, do not take the first loan you are offered. Look at the total cost of the loan, not just the monthly payment. Consider items like points, fees, insurance, and prepayment penalties. Never sign a blank document or a document somebody promises to fill in later. Before closing your loan, get a copy of your final loan terms and conditions. Go over them with somebody you trust and do not sign if anything looks substantially different at closing
