chancho-ga,
There are a wide variety of reports available on the practices of
predatory lending, and the impacts they have across the country.
I've compiled links to the most authoritative reports, below. For the
most part, they are factual, statistical research documents, though
I've included a few "how to avoid predatory lenders" types of reports
as well, since these are representative of the types of literature
available.
I trust this fully answers your question. However, if there's
anything else you need, just let me know by posting a Request for
Clarification.
Cheers,
pafalafa-ga
