The shocking tale of why IndyMac/OneWest virtually always forecloses — even though it is a HAMP program participant!

This article also drops a few hints on potential strategies, for those fighting OneWest/IndyMac foreclosures.

What’s Really Up With Wells’ Option ARMs?

An interesting discussion is going on in the “blogosphere” on the World Savings Option ARM Mortgages that were “picked up” by Wells Fargo with the merger of Wells and Wachovia. The discussion pivots on whether the World Option ARMs are a “ticking time-bomb” for Wells in the short term, or if the “10 year” recast period is going to allow Wells to weather the on-coming storm easier (or completely). Here, I will attempt to shed light on the recast portion of this argument, and hopefully clear up confusion and add to the general understanding of the subject.

The Trouble With MERS

MERS was conceived in the early 1990’s by numerous lenders and other entities. Chief among the entities were Bank of America, Countrywide, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and a host of other such entities. The stated purpose was that the creation of MERS would lead to “consumers paying less” for mortgage loans. Obviously, that did not happen. This article will attempt to explain MERS in very general detail. It will cover a few issues related to MERS and foreclosure, in order to introduce the reader to the issues of MERS. [Note: article contains discussion of recent Landmark vs Kesler decision in Kansas].

Why Aren’t Lenders Doing More Loan Modifications?

Daily, in the newspapers, radio, television and the internet, articles are written about the difficulty that borrowers face in getting loan modifications. At the same time, the Federal Government and the Obama Administration announce new programs to assist homeowners in getting loan modifications. These programs are going to solve the problems that homeowners have, and are going to save their homes. Yet, closer inspection of the program’s details raises. Next, states like California decide to try and pass legislation to prevent homeowners from paying money upfront to loan modification companies and attorneys for assistance in dealing with the Lenders and Servicers. Then, the President even declares that homeowners should not pay for loan modifications and that their lenders and servicers are doing the modifications for free.
Who does a homeowner believe? What is the real truth? This article will attempt to shed some light on the issues. I will focus primarily upon loans that have been securitized.

The Real Alternative To Walking Away Is A “Back Door Cram Down”

I get many folks who have refinanced that second mortgage, or who want to keep their homes, but can’t pay for the adjusted payment on their mortgage, or don’t want to pay on a house that worth substantially less than they owe on it. They have tried to get the bank to work with them, but are frustrated because the bank won’t talk unless they are two payments behind and the only thing the bank will do is freeze their payments or add their arrears to their loan balance. Banks will not reduce the principal amount on loans to fair market value to save a borrower from foreclosure. They just won’t do it.

Once again it’s the 80/20 loan to the rescue.
