Bob Broeksmit, the president and CEO of MBA, expressed, 'Across the country, people's privacy, financial well-being, and even their livelihoods are under attack from a barrage of unwanted emails, texts, and phone solicitations at all hours of the day simply because they made a query about obtaining a mortgage.' He argues that the current circumstances highlight a critical need to protect consumers from such invasive practices.
In his urgent appeal, Broeksmit stated, 'Securing the passage of a bill to end the practice is MBA's top national legislative priority, which will serve to protect consumers from the practices he called abuses.' This emphasis underlines the MBA's commitment to addressing and eliminating such consumer predicaments.
Broeksmit elaborated on the depth of the issue, sharing a traumatic account: 'A 73-year-old widower in California who sought to access home equity was practically in tears from the harassing calls. This needs to stop.' His emotional response underscores the human impact of trigger leads.
He also cited another troubling scenario, noting, 'Trigger lead originators relentlessly called the husband of the testimonial provider, who is a firefighter. This put the general public at risk due to these invasive calls and disrupted operations at the fire station.' Such examples highlight the broader societal risks posed by trigger leads.
