Re: Dodd-Frank Act

I was hoping for more that just talking points, my dude. 

 

Also, what about the extra affordances D-F brought like a right to a FICO score and tightening up the subprime market (that got us into the 2007 mess in the first place)?

Re: Dodd-Frank Act

It’s good to see DF reformed. It did much more harm than good.

Re: Dodd-Frank Act

I am usually appreciative of consumer based laws vs those that help the banks.

Re: Dodd-Frank Act

Thank you Mako50 for your information on the Dodd-Frank Act.  When my husband and I finished building our house, we went to finalize the building loan and get a Mortgage.  The loan officer at our bank told me that we had to have a month to month balance in our checking account of $2000-3000.  I had gone to another bank and talked to their Loan Office about this requirement and was told if our bank did not want to give us a mortgage loan that he would be glad to do it for us.  I went back to our bank and told the Loan Officer if we could not get a mortgage with him, we had a bank who was willing to write a mortgage for us.  We got the mortgage with our bank.  I wonder if something like this might be a violation of the Dodd-Frank Act now.  I knew things seem to be better now for mortgages than they used to be, but I did not know why until reading the information on the Dodd-Frank Act and the information you have provided.  Again, I thank you!
