Consumer Credit Protection Act Case Summary

Medicare payments rely heavily on proper coding of medical procedures and services provided during the delivery of care. Those services or processes are typically bundled, and therefore allocated as a bundling payment that receives a set amount of financial compensation for the organization. The Medicare statute maintains that the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines the fee schedule for diagnostics laboratory tests and Medicare regulations state that the hospitals must bill some of the tests as a group (Ohio Hospital Association, et. al. v. Shalala, 1997). The District Court case involved the failure to bundle seven tests, which accounted for higher Medicare reimbursements.

Business Ethics Anthony and Dolores Angelini entered into a contract with Lustro Aluminum Products, Inc. (Lustro). Under the contract, Lustro agreed to replace exterior veneer on the Angelini home with Gold Bond Plasticrylic avocado siding. The cash price for the job was $3,600, and the installment plan price was $5,363.40. The Angelinis chose to pay on the installment plan and signed a promissory note as security. The note’s language provided that it would not mature until 60 days after a certificate of completion was signed. Ten days after the note was executed, Lustro assigned it for consideration to General Investment Corporation (General), an experienced home improvement lender. General was aware that Lustro (1) was nearly insolvent at the time of the assignment and (2) had engaged in questionable business practices in the past. Lustro never completed the installation of siding at the Angelini home. General, as a holder in due course, demanded payment of the note from the Angelinis. Who wins? General Investment Corporation v. Angelini, 278 A.2d 193, Web 1971 N.J. Lexis 263 (Supreme Court of New Jersey)

Each month, the cardholder is sent a statement indicating the purchases made with the card, any outstanding fees, and the total amount owed. In the US, after receiving the statement, the cardholder may dispute any charges that he or she thinks are incorrect. The Fair Credit Billing Act gives details of the US regulations. The cardholder must pay a defined minimum portion of the amount owed by a due date, or may choose to pay a higher amount. The credit issuer charges interest on the unpaid balance if the billed amount is not paid in full (typically at a much higher rate than most other forms of debt). In addition, if the cardholder fails to make at least the minimum payment by the due date, the issuer may impose a "late fee" and/or other penalties.

Wells Fargo Bank filed a lawsuit, in September 2014, against the accounting firm Worley Stroud & Associates PC claiming professional negligence.

You are correct, background checks are imperative and must be conducted; failing to do so I a liability on companies and can make them an easy target for lawsuits. In my opinion employees working in finance, banking, and dealing with money should not only have a background check for also a credit check as well. According to The Fair Credit Act each state have different laws for checking potential employees credit but I think it should be necessary for anyone working in finance and not everyone one (Bernardin & Russell, 2013).

Eileen Foster claimed that Countrywide Financial and or Bank of America terminated her employment in retaliation for reporting unethical and illegal issues committed by upper-level management within the Employee Relations Department. Furthermore, The Department of Labor went into investigations based on this information which was later supported by Full Spectrum Lending Division and Consumer Market Division. The investigations did provide crucial evidence and information on these allegations of fraud. I found that these allegations were fair and true to the situation. I find that Countrywide Financial or Bank of America could not risk leaking any or all information out into the public eye thus the quick termination of employees or “hush”

Debt settlement consumer protection act helps you to reap benefits. But how? This is a simple question but needs a serious explanation. This article tries to give that explanation to you. After the Federal economy was hit by recession, thousands of people were thrown out of their jobs by the employers. This created a serious financial crisis for the consumers. They failed to repay their debts and became defaulters. They eventually filed for bankruptcy and pulled down their credit score. They lost their credibility and failed to get any further credit from any creditor for the next 7-10 years that followed.

While the Federal Reserve had the intention of eliminating these unethical lending practices, the result was a deterrence from the independent mortgage business overall. Without the prospect of earning commissions, loan officers lose incentive of accepting deals that would take relatively longer periods of time to close. They would be paid the same rate regardless of the kind of loan they make to borrowers. Furthermore, the regulations also have an important consequence when considered with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, where under “section 1413 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which states that any violation of the loan originator compensation rules will offer the borrower a ‘defense to foreclosure’ for the life of the loan” (Smith, 2011). Under this rule, a delinquent borrower can potentially prevent his or her lender from foreclosing on a loan if the borrower finds a violation of the compensation rules under Regulation Z. Consequently, large banks would be deterred from buying mortgages with

The institutions that stated regulatory burden as a major reason not to continue with consumer lending was the direct result of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that has affected TIL requirements. They stated in order to comply, they will have to hire outside personnel or revamp their current training program dealing with consumer lending. If costs were not considered (will be discussed later), the lack of expertise and appropriate training for all administrative staff and lending officers would require a significant time investment and result in production loss in other critical lending areas (e.g. agricultural products). Thus, some institutions believe the man-hour investment needed by institutions to comply was burdensome and not cost effective with production losses to core borrowing activities.
