Americans for Fairness in Lending
Americans for Fairness in Lending is a website I recently found focused on fixing the problems consumers face from the credit card, mortgage and lending industries. From what I understand they organized screenings of the documentary Maxed Out:Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2006) showing the abuses of the credit card industry which I haven't seen yet but am planning to track down and see! These types of problems are the ones that we in consumer behavior studies should be looking at helping to fix!
