Obama Proposes Plan to Prevent Foreclosures
Posted on Mar 10, 2010
March 10, 2010 - Boston, Mass. - Some politicians are hoping to reduce the growing number of Americans who are being displaced from their homes after succumbing to bank foreclosure. In particular, the hope is to cause a fundamental change in the way lending institutions and banks treat homeowners who are facing a risk of foreclosure.
DailyFinance reports President Obama has proposed a plan to ensure that lenders give every willing homeowner a chance to keep their property. Obama wants to ensure that each homeowner struggling to make their mortgage payments can enroll in the Home Affordable Modification Plan, or HAMP, before foreclosure measures are put into action.
This would prevent banks from foreclosing on a home without making an obvious effort to contact the homeowner several times. It would also be required for banks to attempt to talk to borrowers about HAMP at least 4 times via phone and at least 2 times through certified mail.
The intent is that homeowners deserve to know about the possibility of trial loan modifications, which allow a borrower to get their payment temporarily lowered. Typically, as long as the homeowner pays on-time for 3 months, they may get to stay at the lower payment, allowing them to save their home.
Some banks have been known to withhold this opportunity from homeowners who have otherwise followed protocol. If Obama's plan becomes reality, the hope is that lenders will not be allowed to pull the rug out from under homeowners who are making a concerted effort to avoid foreclosure.
