Share Your Story

If you are one of the thousands of homeowners affected by predatory lending, the Center would like to hear your story. We’re looking for personal, on-the-ground narratives; we want to know what happened and how it impacted your home, your family, your finances, and your community.

If you’d like to share your experience, please use the form below to send us the details of your situation. You may also upload a photo and caption to illustrate your story. We hope to turn our best submissions into a slideshow and a series of follow-up pieces to accompany this project. And please include contact information so we can get in touch with you.

Use the form below to send us your story and photo from the financial crisis.
