Dilworth Paxson's Consumer Financial Services Group provides sophisticated representation to national and regional financial institutions concerning all consumer loan issues. The group is comprised of skilled business and litigation attorneys dedicated to providing high quality legal services to meet their client's objectives.

Our Consumer Financial Services Group attorneys are accomplished in defending lenders on both the state and federal levels in litigation filed by consumers asserting claims relating to and including:

• Subprime mortgages
• Predatory lending
• Federal Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA)
• Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)
• Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
• Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA)
• Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
• Consumer fraud
• Consumer class actions
• State and federal claims alleging unfair and deceptive acts and trade practices

In addition to providing litigation representation, Dilworth's consumer finance attorneys also work closely with clients to develop strategic policies, plans, and procedures to minimize exposure to litigation. On both a regional and national level, the Consumer Financial Services Group evaluates and responds to pre-litigation claims raised by borrowers, counsel, and third-party entities seeking relief under TILA, RESPA, FCRA, FDCPA, and related state and federal laws. This representation has included extensive investigation and handling of matters relating to "mortgage rescue" entities and their pursuit of mass loan modifications.
