The letter goes on to state if you have any questions about this action, we would like the opportunity to explain in detail why your request has not been approved, explain any possible altern- ative, or provide any other information. I£ this initial step is not completely satis- factory this decision may be appealed by writing to the Executive Director, Indian River County Housing Authority for a review of the accuracy of our find- ing. The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, handicap or age ( provided that the applicant has the cap- acity to enter into a binding contract), because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program, or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that administers compliance with the law concerning this creditor is the Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington, D.C. 20580. In the event unfavorable action on the application is made by the Farmers Home Administration which provided the funding for housing rehabilitation under the "504" Loan b (,rant home Repair Program that agency has established the same procedures as described above.
