Chapman and Cutler LLP routinely advises clients on
interest and usury issues related to commercial and consumer
transactions. Included among the issues on which the firm provides
advice are federal preemption with respect to virtually every secured
and unsecured lending product (mortgages, home equity loans, general
and private label credit cards, student loans, retail installment
loans, automobile loans and other installment and revolving
credit). The firm helped the Illinois Bankers Association write the Illinois statute deregulating home equity, credit card and other types of revolving lending. Although many lenders have federal charters permitting the export of home state rates and fees to borrowers in other states, not all lenders are federally chartered. Our continuing involvement in this area allows us to help state-chartered clients (such as finance companies and mortgage lenders) that cannot take advantage of exportation authority.
