Re: Why Is This Bad? So you don't see the stupidity in trying to understand something that is, by the creators admission, absurd?
Fortunately, the rest of us do. |

Where? Just because some shady lawyers you know make this claim does not mean the lawyers who wrote these contracts make the same claim.

| Well, I saw this in 2 instances. The first was a Harvard law scholar on an unrelated documentary (mortgage crisis), and the second was from a lawyer friend.
Either way your presumption that google will substitute years and years of legal experience needed to decode these things is wrong. In some cases the authors motives are to get litigated ( did I ever mention lawyers are ....well nevermind)
Think about why that might be. |

Funny you mention the mortgage crisis. Talk about a situation which could have been avoided entirely had the people who signed their contracts actually bothered to read what they were signing before committing to it.
That just validates my argument even more.

1 edit | Your assumption that you have read every type of mortgage contract is astounding.
Even more astounding is your assertion that you could have understood, even when a Harvard law professor can't, the contractual language of the modern mortgage.
You have proved nothing but your own ignorance. |

I had zero problems reading and understanding, in its entirety, my mortgage contract when I went to closing. I had my questions, I went over them with lawyers at closing, looked up some other things I did not know, and my house has yet to be foreclosed upon.
And to be fair, a standard mortgage contract for a primary residence is NOT that complicated either. If someone from Harvard cannot understand it, that says more about that person than the vast majority of people who sign and abide by these contracts every day.

| Your contract does not equal everyone's contract. You do not have the scope of mind to comprehend that.
Nor do you have the ability to comprehend predatory contracts, which are the norm these days.
You should not have to blame the victims. The law should protect people, not hurt them. |

said by DataRiker:You should not have to blame the victims. The law should protect people, not hurt them. Sure I can. If the terms were fully disclosed and the borrowers did not bother to read or understand what they were signing, then why is it the lender's fault?
