There are several things you can do to protect yourself from predatory lending practices, including:
- Educate yourself about your rights as a borrower.
- Know what to look for in a loan offer, and be sure to read all loan documents carefully before signing anything.
- If you have any questions about a loan offer, ask your lender for clarification.
- Contact your state Attorney General's office or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau if you believe you have been the victim of a predatory lending practice.
