Mortgage Discrimination
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA) protect you against discrimination when you apply for a mortgage to purchase, refinance, or make home improvements.
The ECOA prohibits discrimination in any aspect of a credit transaction based on:
- Race or Color
- Religion
- National Origin
- Sex
- Marital Status
- Age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract)
- The applicant’s receipt of income derived from any public assistance program
- The applicant’s exercise, in good faith, of any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the umbrella statute that includes ECOA.
The FHA prohibits discrimination in all aspects of residential real-estate related transactions, including:
- Making loans to buy, build, repair, or improve a dwelling
- Selling, brokering, or appraising residential real estate
- Selling or renting a dwelling
- Race or Color
- National Origin
- Religion
- Sex
- Familial Status (defined as children under the age of 18 living with a parent or legal guardian, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under 18)
- Handicap
Take action if you think you’ve been discriminated against. Consider suing the lender in federal district court. If you win, you can recover your actual damages and be awarded punitive damages if the court finds that the lender’s conduct was willful. You also may recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and court costs. You also might consider joining with others to file a class action suit.
