<description>It amazes me that this proposal has gone as far as it has.  This is absolutely ridiculous!  In this economic/unemployment crisis, more and more Americans have been pushed into the lower credit score ranges.  There is inherently more risk for lenders the lower the credit score.  As with any business, you price for your cost of funds/merchandise and risk.  If companies are within the legal usary limits, then their contracts should not be voided with no recourse to recoup the funds they lent.  Everyone wants something for nothing -- let someone else pay the bill!!!!
If passed and a person has any brains at all, they will go buy a $50,000 car, put as little down as possible, ASK FOR A HIGH INTEREST RATE, wait 3 - 6 months and then file BKO.  WOO HOO - free $50,000 car!  Way to stimulate the economy! Lenders will go out of business or refuse to lend to people with spotty credit -- watch out what you ask for!...</description>

<description>So let me get this straight. If you have a car loan at 18% APR, then file Bankruptcy and be rewarded with a free car?  Ridiculous!!!!...</description>

<description>This country needs to pass  bills to help undo the Republican Bankruptcy Reforms of the past.  The Credit Strapped middle class are getting sucked dry in the Bankruptcy proceedings now. Let's hope that the Consumer Credit Fairness Act gets a fast track through congress to become law!...</description>
