Don't Borrow Trouble - Anti-predatory Lending and Foreclosure Avoidance Campaign

Don't Borrow Trouble is a national anti-predatory lending and foreclosure avoidance campaign that combines education and empowerment - teaching consumers to protect their homes and finances.

Borrowers Face Tough Financial Choices

With so many loan options – from purchase and refinance loans to second liens and home equity loans – it's no wonder consumers find it difficult to make the right choices. When those "too good to be true" loans contain hidden fees or unfair terms, the borrowers ultimately pay the price, sometimes at the cost of losing their homes.

Don't Borrow Trouble (DBT) Offers Solutions

Through DBT, we are working to curtail predatory lending by creating a nation of educated homeowners who seek assistance and advice, understand their financial options, and know how to avoid mortgage pitfalls that can lead to foreclosure.
