Maloney Calls for NCUA To Immediately Stop Taxi Medallion Loan Foreclosures and Sales

Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney, Chairwoman of the Oversight and Reform Committee, on January 17 called on the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) to place an immediate moratorium on both taxi medallion loan foreclosures and sales of taxi medallion loans currently owned by the NCUA.

Earlier this month, it was reported that NCUA was seeking to sell approximately 3,500 taxi medallions loans from failed credit unions in its possession by the end of January.
