AbstractPaula Lyons: Consumer Journal; Paula Lyons describes what the differences are between mortgage brokers, banks, and mortgage lenders; the process of acquiring a mortgage is described and what is different with mortgage brokers; complaints against a broker are discussed by better business administrators; the many poor practices and devastating outcomes that might result by using a broker where there is very little regulation are detailed; black screen breaks; a store, Bread and Circus, is the example of the health food mindset; cars that are out of control because of an unintended accelerator, and the Audi 5000 seems to be the biggest problems; experts and drivers talk about how this could, or could not possibly, be happening; lemon laws are among the solutions suggested; consumer fraud through the mail is exposed in a series of examples documented by Lyons;
