West Virginia Mortgage Law Practice Test

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) prohibits credit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or receipt of public assistance. This federal law would have prompted the West Virginia Legislature to make amendments to the WV Code to ensure that the state's laws align with the protections offered by the ECOA and ensure fair treatment for all individuals seeking credit. The other options, while also important federal laws related to credit, were not the driving force behind the amendments made by the West Virginia Legislature.
