Fernando’s Story: Like many immigrants, Fernando was victimized by an aggressive predatory lender. His story started in 2015 when he found himself in a challenging financial bind where he needed money quickly. Given the time sensitivity, he decided to apply for a loan online and within hours Fernando was able to get the money he needed. Unfortunately, the loan came at a high cost with an interest rate of 138%, making it impossible for Fernando to make the required monthly pay...ments. Over the next few years his loan was sold from one third-party debt collection agency to another. Almost four years after he took out the original loan, Fernando was unjustly sued for the nonpayment of the predatory loan. Unable to afford a private attorney, Fernando turned to La Raza Centro Legal (LRCL) for their quality legal support and spanish-speaking services. With the help of LRCL’s experienced Senior Law Program staff attorney, Fernando was able to have the lawsuit completely dismissed. LRCL successfully advocated on his behalf and absolved his financial debt and collections lawsuit. Most importantly, in working with LRCL, he was relieved of much of the emotional and financial burden associated with fighting the financial predatory hardship. Stories of immigrant and disadvantaged communities that fall victim to predatory financial loans are rampant in the United States. We are dedicated to representing and seeking justice for these communities. Please visit this link to view the full client story: https://lrcl.org/client-story-escaping-a-financial-predato/

La Raza Centro Legal celebrates the voices of more than 74 million people in electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as President and Vice President of the United States. We are especially thrilled for the Bay Area's Kamala Harris to make history as the first woman, first Black person and first South Asian-American to earn election as Vice President. For women and people of color everywhere, especially our daughters and granddaughters, this victory will provide a steady source o...f inspiration, standing on the shoulders of centuries of striving and determination in the face of overwhelming adversity and systemic exclusion. The election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris also marks the beginning of an end to a destructive and divisive chapter in U.S. history, one in which the Latinx community has suffered particularly. We look forward to policy changes beginning on day one on immigration, labor, and human rights. We look forward to the new administration ending the senseless cruelty of locking children in cages and to fulfilling its promise to take every step necessary to unite 545 children still separated from their families. President-Elect Biden is also a champion for DACA and pledges to protect undocumented members of armed services, veterans and their spouses from deportation. While our arduous daily work on behalf of the Bay Area Latinx and immigrant communities continues, today brings us all relief, acceptance, and hope. Together, let's write the next chapter in this work and in our lives. El pueblo, unido, jamás será vencido, Amanda Alvarado Ford Executive Director
