Quicken Com Company

Online lender Quicken Loans Inc. sued California in federal court Tuesday, challenging a state law that prevents lenders from charging interest until the day before a mortgage is officially recorded. The Livonia, Mich., company claimed federal law, which allows interest to be charged as soon as loan funds go into escrow, takes precedence over the state statute.

Intuit Inc., the top personal-finance software maker, said Wednesday that consumer information from its Quicken.com loan Web site was leaked to its advertisers, though it has taken steps to stop the leaks.

Internet lender Quicken Loans Inc. has agreed to tell consumers when they are denied a pre-approved loan due to bad credit, the Federal Trade Commission said.
