Homeowners in California and in a handful of other states could be injected with some much needed help from the Obama Administration. Recently President Obama announced a $1.5B program to help stop the foreclosure bleeding in some of the hardest hit states in the nation. My initial thought when I first saw the headline for this article was…more money for the banks! On the contrary, this looks more like a bailout for the borrowers. Read more…

When you do a search online or in the phone book for companies that offer loan modification service, you’ll find that there is no shortage of companies and law firms offering this service. Some of these firms will honestly try to help while others are just preying on those who are desperate. Of course, you’ll need to do your due diligence before hiring a company and there are a few things you’ll need to look out for when talking to a sale rep for any of these firm.  Remember, sales rep are simply trying to make a sale so they can make their commission or meet their quota. They are not the same individuals that are handling your file. Therefore, they will say everything you want hear to make the sell. If you are shopping to find the best firm to help your situation, WATCH OUT! You could be sold to the biggest liar…the one that promises you everything. You could be out $3000+ with little or no chance of getting a modification.

What homeowners go through while waiting for their permanent modification…

This article tells it all: Chase Modification Process

Unfortunately, what this couple has already gone through is exactly what hundreds of thousands of homeowners across America are going through as we speak. The sad thing about it is that Chase may not be the worst at delaying the process. This is happening to virtually every homeowner, regardless of who they pay their mortgage to. Bank of America may actually be among the worst banks in prolonging the modification review process under the Obama plan or for any modification program for that matter. Bank of America currently has the highest number of eligible borrowers  for the Obama Plan. Yet, as of early December of 2009, they’ve only modified 95 homeowners into a permanent modification. To put things into perspective, Chase has modified over 4,000 homeowners into permanent modifications under the Obama program during the same time period. So, what’s the problem with Bank of America???
