built 302 days ago
The FDIC made 35 referrals in 2005. As described below, 32 of these referrals were returned for administrative resolution. Fourteen of the referrals involved allegations of age discrimination where a lender either provided preferential treatment to persons in age groups not entitled to preferential treatment or improperly considered age in a credit scoring system. Eighteen of the FDIC's referrals involved allegations of marital status discrimination, where the lender improperly required spousal signatures to guarantee the loan when the individual spouse should have independently qualified for the loan under the creditor's standards of creditworthiness. In each of these cases, the bank revised its lending policy and expressed willingness to take appropriate corrective action for any persons who were aggrieved by the discriminatory policy. Each of these 32 referrals was returned to the agency for administrative resolution.
