Nader and Proxmire Attack Looming Loan Form
Ralph Nader and Sen. William Proxmire criticize a proposed federal loan contract form drafted with lender input by Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. They warn it could hamper buyers rights, allow foreclosures after 30 days late, permit property inspections, tax and insurance fund siphoning, and divert insurance to loan principal. Lenders defend the form as protecting credit access and money supply.
