Most people who have a dispute with their lenders feel like they have a legal claim, but this is not necessarily the case. The laws regulating the lending industry are complex, and only an experienced lawyer should be providing you counsel about your legal options. Contact Marlin & Saltzman, LLP for a free consultation with one of our experienced attorneys.
Some of the key areas of unfair lending practices include:
- Interest rate adjustments: The law provides strict limitations on changing interest rates on money already borrowed.
- Excessive late fees: Banks and other lenders have to follow specified guidelines regarding the amounts they pay for late fees and the circumstances under which they can charge these fees.
- Discrimination: Lenders cannot refuse to lend or in any way change the terms of their financial packages because of race, gender, age or sexual orientation.
- Hidden bank charges: While it is legal for lenders to add in charges to the products they offer to consumers, the law limits hidden, unauthorized and excessive bank charges.
If you have experienced one of these violations you might have a claim. Further, if a lending institution has violated your rights, there is a good chance that it has violated the rights of many others, as well. With a class-action lawsuit, we could increase our strength in litigation and get a better money damage award for you and the other people in the same situation.
