The Mortgage Crises and the Faces of Foreclosure

 At the end of 2008, Consumers Union embarked on a special project to record the video stories of individuals experiencing a crisis as a result of the mortgage meltdown. These are the personal stories of several individuals whose experiences reflect the many ways in which abusive mortgages are taking a huge toll on individuals, communities and our economy.

These are the stories of real people, real families who found themselves targeted by predatory lending practices and forced to make difficult decisions.

Isn't it time we have a Consumer Financial Protection Agency to focus on, oversee and regulate the financial industry? As the norm, the financial industry is fighting against such a regulatory agency. See: Financial Services Industry still Fights Against Consumer Protections.
