U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke met Thursday with two top consumer advocates.

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke met Thursday morning with two top consumer advocates, just one month before the central bank plans to propose broad new subprime mortgage rules.

Bernanke and Fed Governor Randall Kroszner met privately with Jesse Jackson Sr. from the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and John Taylor, president of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.

Jackson and Taylor represent groups that are often critical of banking industry practices, and the central bank occasionally solicits the views of these groups and others when determining regulatory policy.

"Chairman Bernanke displayed a strong sensitivity to our concern that many low-income and minority homeowners are in jeopardy," Taylor said in a press statement. "He showed a depth of understanding of the challenges inherent in addressing these problems."

The Fed is planning to use its authority next month to propose new rules that would prohibit some lending practices on subprime loans, such as certain prepayment penalties. Only the Fed has the authority to ban certain lending practices across the lending industry, for both state and federally regulated institutions.
