Ask your senator to OPPOSE Senator Brownback's amendment that gives auto dealers a free ride.

Dear XXXX:

Capitol Hill has been teeming with auto dealers as the debate peaks on the proposed "Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010" (S. 3217), which includes new rules to keep Wall Street in check. Critical to making these new rules work for ordinary families is the creation of a new agency―the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)―dedicated to enforcing consumer protection laws.

Tell your senator that the CFPB must cover all types of consumer loans, no matter the kind of company that sells them.

What do car dealerships have to do with it? They too are lenders and make most of their profit off of the loans they issue to customers. On top of it, theirs is a loosely regulated industry with documented abusive lending practices that have resulted in Black and Latino borrowers paying higher markups than their White peers. Now, they are hitting up your senator for an exemption. As lenders and brokers of auto loans, they should follow the same rules as their bank and credit union competitors.

Tell your senator that loopholes only create hiding places for deceptive lenders. Ask them to OPPOSE Senator Sam Brownback's (R-KS) amendment that aims to prevent auto dealers from being held accountable for their unfair loans.

Not convinced? Get the facts.

Sincerely,

Janis Bowdler
Deputy Director, Wealth-Building Policy Project
