The lenders should bear the major responsibility of these loans, as they are aware of the ramifications of such transactions. The borrowers are also responsible, as they should not enter into contracts without adequately understanding the consequences of such actions. In many cases, the lenders do not provide the information that would assist the borrower in making rational decisions. There are instances when the borrower does not care about the increased penalties, they just want to get their hands on the money, and worry about the consequences later.
