I watched him on this issue after he mentioned it and I guess he didn't find anything he could do to stop what was happening. Living in Philadelphia where there were hundreds of signs seeking out low-income residents for sub-prime loans, I felt like the least we could do was take down those signs in poor neighborhoods. 2008-01-25T15:47:07Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-01-25:/comment/434 margereis It is not only sub prime loans that are the culprit. My disabled son and myself were put into a loan we could not afford. I started having second thoughts about the loan and wanted to back out and was told I could possibly be sued. Everyone knew I was not happy the way things were going but they just kept prompting me along with my son. We are now about to go into foreclosure and the good credit we had to be able to buy a home we could afford is long gone. The only solution the bank could come up with is We now don't qualify to save the loan so they suggested we put the home up for sale. When I asked the broker who was working with me to relist it He said he did not think he could sell it now. What now????
