BlueHub Capital Violated Predatory Lending Laws. CEO Elyse Cherry Defends The Practice.

In 2020, a handful of Massachusetts homeowners sued BlueHub Capital -- the only lender in the state who provides shared appreciation mortgages -- alleging predatory lending practices. Today: We hear from two sides of the lawsuit, on the heels of a Superior Court judge ruling that found BlueHub did violate consumer protection and predatory lending laws. First, Bruce Marks from Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, a housing group which supports the lawsuit, joins Jim and Margery in Studio 3 with two of the defendants, to discuss their claims of predatory lending and deception by the nonprofit. Then, Elyse Cherry, BlueHub's CEO, tells us the judge's ruling is wrong. She joins with Rose Webster-Smith, director of Springfield No One Leaves -- a housing advocate herself who says she saved her own home from foreclosure with a BlueHub mortgage.

What a Pair

Does cent

Not since Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher has a pair of people complemented each other’s strong points and minimized each other’s weak points more perfectly than here. Topics and guests are invariably interesting. You might hear a judge, a naturalist and an economics professor in one show. There may be a Boston slant, but rarely for the whole show. Besides, what’s better than Boston?
Listener ? Braude should be the first to go. Interesting him to see him trying to bully his boss.

Human listener

How pathetic is Marjorie!!!! She couldn’t handle a debate with a caller and big Braude had to interrupt and save her by attacking the caller. It’s shows like this that lead to Trump’s shooting. Time to put these foolish octogenarians out to pasture. The way the two of these bullies attacked the caller was out of line!

The breadth of conversations and people invited on air is exciting, engaging, and educational. In addition, I learn so much from listeners who call in to share their own experiences related to the topic at hand. In fact, in this most recent election, hearing how the different questions on the ballot would impact those directly affected by the law proposed helped me gain a better understanding as a voter. Plus I just love the silliness and friendly banter between Margery and Jim…reminds me not to always take things so seriously. Yes, we have to “pace the rage” but we must never forget to find some joy. Thank you! PS: I’m a sustaining member and LONG TIME listener. Keep it coming! Bravo!
