Image description:

Coya Mobley from Dayton Ohio who has been victim to the tactics of unscrupulous lending associated with sub-prime loan companies. Her relatively small principal loan tripled with charges and interest. She borrowed around $20,000 but ended up owing more than $70,0000. Pictured with another victim of the sub-prime loans mess Patricia Williams who at one point, like Coya, almost lost her home. They were joining other victims to lobby Law Makers about changing the laws governing these' predatory lenders' and try and force a moratorium on repossessing peoples homes for 6 months.
