Don't Borrow Trouble Now a Program of LASP
The Don’t Borrow Trouble Suburban Philadelphia campaign was launched
by a large coalition of county and private non-profit agencies to
combat predatory lending in the housing market. In 2005, Community
Impact Legal Services (CILS), one of the lead organizations in the
coalition, subcontracted with LASP to provide the Don’t Borrow Trouble
(DBT) Helpline to assist people with questions and concerns arising
from bad loans. Since that time, the DBT Helpline has expanded its
mission to assist those at risk of mortgage foreclosure.
Beginning December 1, 2009, LASP will assume full ownership of the
program and continue its critical work. Residents from Chester,
Delaware and Montgomery counties can call the helpline Monday through
Thursday, 9 am – 1 pm, at 1-888-275-8843.
