The best advice comes from the government???? Based on the terrible advice that you are giving I can believe that you may actually believe this but that does not make it true. The government is not littered with the sharpest minds in America. It is a bunch of people who are trying to get re-elected. Do you really think they are looking out for my best interest? Did you ever stop to think that the banking lobby has the politicians in their back pocket. When you call HUD all they do is give you the number at the bank to call and answer some basic questions. Wow, what a great service they provide. Politicians tell people not to use loan mod companies because the banks don't want people to help them out. Wouldn't it be great if the person that was suing you for something was representing them self and you had a great attorney to help you out?? <br>Have you ever spent 6 months getting the run around from the bank while you stress out over the possibility of losing your home? Who has the time or mental energy or mortgage knowledge to negotiate with the banks? Do people know how to calculate their DTI or surplus/deficit? Did you know that most lenders have guidelines that are based on the monthly surplus/deficit and if you give them numbers that fall outside of those guidelines at any time during the 3-6 month negotiations or during the 3-6 month trial modification you will be DENIED? Can you imagine how somebody would feel if they went through hell for 6 months and then when they went through the final financial review after the trial mod they got denied because they got a bonus check or saw their income dip or had an unexpected expense pop up? Who is going to counsel them on how to manage their finances throughout this process and hold their hand in a great time of need... the government....yeah right. At least they have your great articles to fall back on. If you truly want to help people please educate yourself on what you are writing about before you start writing. <br>Which bank do you work for? “The best advice comes from the government and they have a vested interest in your success.”

Let's face it. Lenders like Wells Fargo could care less.

Sure they may be giving us a head fake by acting like they will help these borrowers. But they won't.

The truth is they had a temper tantrum when the govt. gave WAMU to Chase. They wanted their seat at the table of cheap deposits. Now when they are throwing up a little in their mouths after looking at the condition of the Wachovia (formely World Savings) portfolio, they are acting like Mother Teresa. I don't buy it.

And stop pointing your readers in trouble to HUD. What on Earth are the rocket scientists at HUD going to do to help them? Have you looked at the crap FHA is originating? You would be doing a better service for your readers if you starting calling out the banks who are doing nothing to solve this issue.
