Millions are getting their HOME LOAN payments reduced to avoid foreclosure.
Why not CHECK IT OUT?A HALF MILLION HOMEOWNERS HAVE had their LOAN PAYMENTS REDUCED
NY Times -Half a million troubled homeowners have seen their loan payments lowered under an Obama administration relief plan, the Treasury announced. . . Unaffordable mortgages are now being modified at a pace faster than homes are being sold in foreclosure proceedings, the Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, said. . . "Half a million families are participating in loan modifications that are substantially decreasing their housing costs." Mr. Geithner added that roughly 40 percent of the 1.2 million homeowners deemed eligible for loan modifications under the Making Home Affordable Program have received them. . .

Many homeowners continue to complain that seeking loan modifications can
be frustrating and seemingly futile: Mortgage companies routinely lose
documents and require them to resubmit their files repeatedly, while
giving them incorrect fax numbers and leaving them on hold for hours
only to receive contradictory instructions from customer service
officers.Some mortgage companies assert they cannot modify loans because they merely
send out the monthly bills, while the mortgages are owned by investors. Yet
industry insiders say many mortgage companies actually profit by delaying
the process and keeping homeowners in long-term delinquency, extracting
myriad fees along the way."Unacceptably large numbers of families across the country are still at
risk of losing homes they could otherwise afford to stay in," Mr. Geithner
said.Treasury first announced its anti-foreclosure program in February before
delivering details in March: Mortgage companies would be paid $1,000 for
each loan they modified, then $1,000 a year for up to three years. The plan
was advanced with the promise that it would eventually spare up to four
million households from foreclosure.But by June, evidence was mounting that the program had become a bureaucratic nightmare. Thousands of
homeowners recounted poor treatment and disorganization at the hands of heir mortgage companies. By the end of June, only about 50,000 loans had been modified, according to a Treasury estimate.In July, frustrated by the pace of the progress and irritated by legions of homeowner complaints, Treasury summoned major mortgage companies to Washington for what was subsequently described by officials as a dressing-down. In the months since, mortgage companies have added and trained staff and improved their processes of fielding applications, according to the administration.
"We've put significant pressure on the servicers to ramp up production,"
said the Housing and Urban Development secretary Shaun Donovan, during
Thursday morning's briefing.Still, the administration acknowledged that glitches and frustrations
remain. Treasury and H.U.D. again summoned to mortgage industry officials
to Washington for meetings this afternoon aimed at further accelerating the
program, Mr. Donovan said.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
