IMPORTANT: "Between 2005 and 2009...2/3 of median household wealth [in communities of color] was wiped out" by the foreclosure crisis. On Mon. SCOTUS will hear argument in a case that could result in an increase in foreclosures w/devastating effect on African American homeowners.
In Obduskey v. McCarthy & Holthus, SCOTUS will decide whether the protections of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) covers nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings. These proceedings (w/o a court or judge) result in foreclosure more often than court proceedings.
READ our amicus brief to learn why the ruling in this case may affect hundreds of thousands of homeowners facing nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings & why African American homeowners will be disproportionately affected. @NAACP_LDF supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/17/1…
Attorney Dan Geyser presented an excellent argument in the SCOTUS this morning in Obduskey - the case that will determine whether nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings are covered by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The rights of thousands of homeowners are at stake.
