Take a look at the ad presented by Countrywide, it advertises about home loans without a credit report. Is this not what has brought the financial industry to its knees. Lenders ready to lend money to earn the commission and then sell the loan to a bigger Investment bank so that the risk is distributed. Borrowers borrowing more money than what they can afford. This has lead to the sub prime mortgages to turn sour and billions of dollars of securities to be worthless. A simple example of what's happening in the sub prime market here. I feel the Federal Reserve needs to come up with a better regulations to stop this.
