March 25, 2010 - Washington, D.C. - Bank of America, which has recently received plenty of media attention for numerous wrongful foreclosures, has announced a startling new loan modification plan.
According to Housing Watch, Bank of America's new program could reduce the mortgage principal for many homeowners who owe more than 120% of their property's current value. The stated goal is to bring home loan values down to 100% of their current value in about 5 years.
The announcement of this program, which could be considered by some to be a well-timed public relations move, comes on the heels of several wrongful foreclosure lawsuits against Bank of America.
Of course, like the controversial Home Affordable Modification Program, Bank of America would get to decide who could get a reduction in their payment, only this time it would involve principal instead of interest rates. Many believe that this tactic is the best way to go since lowering interest rates can merely delay, not prevent, foreclosure.
The program is scheduled to begin in May. As with any significant financial transaction, it's important that you exercise extreme caution if entering into Bank of America's new program. Read all paperwork before signing anything and talk to your attorney about any questions you have before you put your name on the dotted line.
