FYI: Long Island-based Delta Funding Corporation, one of the nation’s most infamous predatory lenders, got some help in its public makeover campaign from the Administration for Children’s Services this weekend. Delta put together a Mother’s Day fete for 24 women from ACS’ Bushwick/Brownsville division of its Family Preservation Program. Delta treated the women to a day spa, a party and a host of gifts. Delta ran up $9 million in fines in 2000 alone stemming from lawsuits filed by state and federal monitoring agencies. [5/13/03]
