Although credit unions largely avoided making the types of mortgages that have come under fire, NAFCU said it is keeping a close watch on such initiatives as they may have unintended, trickle-down consequences for credit unions. Of particular note: the call for mortgage reform could be used by some groups as a leaping-off point for tearing down some of the bankruptcy reforms credit unions worked hard to push through Congress several years ago.
