House Hearing on the Availability of Consumer Credit

Published:  September 22, 2011

The House Financial Services Committee is holding a hearing today on the availability of consumer credit. Their website either isn't cooperating or they aren't interested in actually webcasting this event, but I'm sure a video will be available before too long. In the meantime I'd highlight the presence of two of our close colleagues on the second panel, Melissa Koide from CFSI and Ida Rademacher from CFED are both testifying. Here's a link to Melissa's prepared remarks which I'd recommend as both quality reading and a good source of policy recommendations on this topic.
