Supreme Court decision to let states enforce their consumer protection laws against federally chartered banks will give regulators greater power to police lending abuses in an industry already under intense pressure to reform bobby cox . Crisis in CreditMonday's 5-4 ruling striking down a rule by the U.S chipper jones . Office of the Comptroller of the Currency barring state oversight is likely to fuel critics who believe lending abuse has driven millions of people into financial distress, whether through mortgages, credit cards or other forms of consumer credit."This is a real win for consumers," said James Cox, a law professor at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina john smoltz . "It opens up a vast area for state and local regulators, and is a serious loss for the banking industry major league . One would hope banks will become more circumspect about their activities, especially given how they're being regulated like never before."The ruling revives a probe by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo into whether banks such as Citigroup Inc (C.N), HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.L), JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) and Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) were subjecting black and Hispanic borrowers to higher interest rates on mortgage loans. Cuomo's predecessor Eliot Spitzer had begun the probe in 2005.It remains unclear how the ruling affects President Barack Obama's push for a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency as part of his financial regulation overhaul.That proposal would move oversight on credit cards, mortgages and other products from about 10 agencies into a single panel. States would be able to enforce the new federal rules, and impose their own tougher rules where appropriate.But the need for a new pro-consumer agency may prove "not as great as we thought if the states can enforce their own consumer protection laws," said Kevin Petrasic, a lawyer at Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP in Washington, D.C., and former counsel at the Office of Thrift Supervision.He also said the ruling could backfire on consumers if national banks were suddenly "subject to a whole host of state laws" as well as new federal laws.

That case concerned mortgage lending units of national banks, but involved banking regulation rather than enforcement of consumer laws in general."HUGE WIN," CUOMO SAYS"This is a huge win for consumers across the nation," Cuomo said in a statement world series 1992 . He said it will help state attorneys general protect consumers from the "illegal and improper practices by our country's biggest and most powerful banks."John Dugan, the comptroller of the currency, said his office was disappointed with the ruling, but is committed to strong enforcement of fair lending laws, and ensuring fair access to financial services and fair treatment of consumers.The Obama administration had urged support for the OCC regulation, as had the Bush administration merchandise . The administration and Spitzer were not immediately available for comment.Seth Galanter, a lawyer at Morrison & Foerster LLP who represented six former OCC chiefs supporting the rejected regulation, said Monday's ruling may lead to only an "extremely small" change in lending practices, even as it provides "less protection than we think the banks should have gotten."Yet Cox, the Duke law professor, expects regulators to get more aggressive in addressing the country's financial woes."The preemption of state laws has been a key cause of the credit crisis," he said baseball . "It prevented states from doing more regulation in the area of subprime mortgages and other debt that consumers get in over their heads."(Reporting by Jonathan Stempel; Additional reporting by Karey Wutkowski in Washington, editing by Gerald E McCormick) Crisis in Credit hotel turner field .

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer hailed the Supreme Court's decision on Monday that allows the state's mortgage lending probe, one initiated by Spitzer in 2005, to finally proceed after a protracted legal battle with federal regulators baseball tickets . Crisis in CreditYet the former attorney general laments the lost opportunity regulators had to question and possibly halt subprime mortgage activities that ultimately caused massive damage to banks and the economy."This is a big win for law enforcement and for those who believe that banks need to have an appropriate level of scrutiny," said Spitzer, who launched the investigation while attorney general and resigned as governor early last year.Andrew Cuomo, the current New York attorney general, had brought the case wanting to revive Spitzer's probe into possible lending discrimination world baseball series . The nation's highest court overturned an appellate court ruling that blocked the state from enforcing fair lending laws against national banks."The question that bothered us several years back when we began this case was whether banks were lending fairly and properly to people," Spitzer said in a telephone interview baseball managers . "It was very clear people were being offered loans they were financially incapable of repaying."While initially a case into lending practices biased against minorities, investigators were concerned that loans extended to people with weak credit were becoming problematic.By the end of 2006, mortgage losses started to weigh on banks and by 2007, the housing market had collapsed, bringing mortgage markets and eventually the entire banking system down."We didn't quite know how much or in what form, but there was much there that was troubling," Spitzer said . "Obviously, it's a little late to forestall the cataclysm that emerged when the subprime debt fuse finally exploded."VOIDSpitzer does not claim his mortgage probe would have prevented the credit crunch, but regulators squandered an opportunity to stop questionable lending practices, he said.Back in 2005, Spitzer's star was climbing. For now, he contends the government is not doing enough."To a certain extent, I think were moving deck chairs on the Titanic We're not really doing anything fundamental," he said "They're too modest. They don't begin to confront the most significant issue, which is 'Too Big to Fail."Spitzer's public career came to halt early last year when he resigned after getting caught in a prostitution scandal.
