Do you think you (or a client) were wrongfully foreclosed on? Now there is a way to fight back. Well, sort-a. In this video are the details of a new program where owners who lost their homes to foreclosure can obtain possible restitution. Will it work…can lenders actually police themselves and admit fault for their foreclosure mistakes (let alone potential fraud)?.

How much impact does a short sale have on FICO® Scores? How about a foreclosure? Since I frequently hear these questions from clients and others, I thought I’d share new FICO research that sheds light on this very subject. The FICO study simulated various types of mortgage delinquencies on three representative credit bureau profiles of consumers scoring 680, 720 and 780, respectively. I say “representative profiles” because we focused on consumers whose credit characteristics (e.g., utilization, delinquency history, age of file) were typical of the three score points considered. All consumers had an active currently-paid-as-agreed mortgage on file. WARNING: Short […] Click Here To View More

Tim and Julie Harris exclusive.. This is a summary of all the short sale incentive programs being offered by the major US lenders. Please be clear, these are programs that literally PAY an owner to do a short sale. Lenders offer these programs because they know the alternative are defaulted owners staying in their homes for months if not years…payment free. Also, a short sale is the more financially prudent thing for the bank (and the owner) to do in a depreciating real estate environment.

Is there any way something like this will happen given the Republican (and Tea Parties) attempted shift to a more conservative approach to spending?
