Lending Equality
Act FairlyCredit must be offered to all patients/applicants consistently and equally.
Be ImpartialPatients/applicants should not be discouraged from applying for credit due to their race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, receipt of public assistance income and exercise of consumer rights.
It’s Not Only Important, It’s the LawDon’t invite allegations of discrimination by violating state or federal fair lending laws. It will affect your reputation and possibly cause litigation.
Make sure everyone has EQUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITY.
15
Lending Equality
Laws exist to shield folks from unfair, deceptive and abusive acts and practices, which can cause them financial harm.
Be unfair – Don’t cause substantial injury, monetary or otherwise, to the patient/applicant. Any benefit derived is not outweighed by the cost to the patient/applicant.
Be deceptive – Don’t intentionally omit or mislead the patient/applicant regarding a product or service.
Be abusive – Don’t interfere with the ability of the patient/applicant to understand a term or condition of a consumer financial product or service. And never take unreasonable advantage of any individual.
Let’s not: Be sure to:Fully inform –Patients/applicants should be given all the information before making a product decision.
