What is a proxy for fair lending?
The use of proxies in fair lending cases involving auto lenders is not new [9], and auto lenders, credit card issuers, and other non-mortgage consumer lenders have used geographic and surname proxying [10] for years to evaluate their fair lending risk. In the Ally case, the CFPB and DOJ used a proxying approach, the Bayesian Improved Surname Geocoding (“BISG”) method, that combines geography and surname approaches to estimate a joint probability that a borrower is a member of a particular race or ethnicity. Although the CFPB and DOJ appear convinced that the BISG method is appropriate to assess disparities in auto lending, [11] it has not been subject to rigorous testing or validation within the consumer lending environment and we have observed that the BISG method has been shown to have a high error rate when tested against Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (“HMDA”) data.
Why did the CFPB refer the Ally case to the DOJ?
In accordance with Section 706 (g) of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) and a December 6, 2012 Memorandum of Understanding between DOJ and the CFPB [2], on November 7, 2013, the CFPB referred the matter to the DOJ because it had concluded that Ally had engaged in a pattern or practice of lending discrimination.

The settlement is important for several reasons, including that:
What is the government imputed Ally's borrowers' race and ethnicity?
In contrast to fair lending settlements involving residential mortgage loans for which there is data identifying the borrowers’ actual race and ethnicity, the government imputed Ally’s borrowers’ race and ethnicity using a controversial proxying methodology; this means that borrowers who are compensated for being allegedly harmed based on their minority status could , in fact, be Caucasian.
What is an ally mark up?
Like many indirect auto lenders, Ally allows the dealers from which it buys loans to mark up the interest rate charged to a consumer above the risk-based buy rate.

The DOJ Complaint also states that Ally caps the amount of dealer mark up at 200 or 250 basis points, depending on the contract term and the consumer’s credit tier.
