Arizona Attorney General Urges Broad Adoption of Mortgage Modifications

October 14, 2008

The Arizona Attorney General’s office has joined with 9 other states to urge 16 lenders to work with borrowers on loan modifications.

The latest urge comes on the heels of a report by a Working Group that concluded that industry measures to keep homeowners out of foreclosure had actually slipped since the last report in April, 2008 and that currently a full 80% of delinquent borrowers are not on track for any loss mitigation outcome.

According to the report:

“The mortgage industry’s failure to develop systematic approaches to prevent foreclosures has only spurred declines in property values and further increased expected losses on mortgage loan portfolios.”

“Given the significant losses associated with foreclosures, and your fiduciary duty to
maximize the return for your investors, we believe that every major servicer of subprime loans
should adopt these types of programs as soon as possible. We believe that doing so is in the
interests of homeowners, servicers, investors, and the economy at large. We urge you in the strongest possible terms to adopt a comprehensive, streamlined, and effective loan modification program
as soon as possible.”

This could be very good news for people who are currently being told “no” when trying to work with their current lender.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
