Alexander v. Ameripro Funding, Inc.


The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits a creditor from, among other things, discriminating against an applicant for a mortgage loan because all or part of the applicant’s income derives from public assistance income.

The brief also argued that hostility and animus are not elements of a disparate treatment claim under ECOA.
