Lending without due regard for repayment ability is prohibited. Lenders can be held liable for the actions of brokers. If your total debt to income ratio is more than 55% you're in a Predatory Loan. Putting into a loan with less favorable terms than they would otherwise qualify for is prohibited and could be considered loan fraud. If you got a loan between the years 2000 to 2007, a mortgage audit is likely to uncover a huge array of errors in your mortgage which will give you the upper hand in negotiating with your mortgage lender.
