Under a new St. Louis County ordinance, which Colleen Wasinger of Town and Country voted against, banks will have to participate in formal mediation before foreclosing on a home.
A new St. Louis County Council ordinance sponsored by Hazel Erby, D-University City, would require a formal mediation between banks and lendees before foreclosing on a home in St. Louis County. The measure was approved 5-2 this week along party lines. The council's Republican members, Colleen Wasinger of Town and Country and Greg Quinn of Ballwin, voted against the measure. Erby, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, was thrilled with the passage of the ordinance. "If we can keep some families from experiencing the heartache of foreclosure, then this (bill) will be a success," she said. The bill is designed to slow the rate of foreclosures in the area. According to St. Louis Public Radio, lenders believe the county is overreaching its…

Consumer credit counseling agency says to look before leaping into high interest loans offered by banks or payday loan establishments.
Several St. Louis area banks are getting into the payday loan business, including U.S. Bank, Regions Bank and Fifth Third Bank, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The banks require that the person taking out the loan has a checking account with them, has direct deposit and automatic withdrawal for the loan, said Thomas Fox, community outreach director for Cambridge Credit Counseling Corp., a nonprofit agency. The banks are competing with storefront payday loan and check cashing services, charging somewhat lower rates. They charge an upfront fee for a small loan of $100 to $500, which usually is scheduled to be paid off in one to three months. But Fox suggests contacting a nonprofit consumer credit counseling agency before taking out…
