Senator Hillary Clinton Proposes a 1 Billion Dollar Fund to Help People Facing Foreclosure

Senator Hillary Clinton has proposed a new bill to help the American people that are facing foreclosure. She will  seek the establishment of a $1 billion fund to help the states help borrowers who are in danger of foreclosure. There are different types of programs that the states have available. Some have programs that will help the homeowner make a single payment to bring them up to date and some have programs that will help re-negotiate the loans and some provide financial counseling.

She also laid out a plan to help curtail predatory lending.

1. Making it a requirement that mortgage broker disclose the fact that they make higher fees if the mortgages they arrange have higher interest rates. It is not in their best interest to get you the lowest rate.

2. Requiring that mortgage brokers be registered with the Federal Government and that the states and the federal government work together to develop stricter and stronger licensing regulations aimed to stop brokers from steering people to high cost mortgages that they cannot afford, thereby leading to more foreclosures. The national registry will enable the public to look up a broker’s history to see if there have been any violations or complaints.

3. She would also eliminate the prepayment penalties that prevent a borrower, especially one who has a variable rate or other unconventional mortgage, from paying it off when the rates are low. These types of mortgages that lock people in and have large balloon payments tagged onto the end, are responsible for more than half of the foreclosures nation wide.

4. Make it a requirement that all the costs including taxes, be included in the estimate of monthly costs that the mortgage broker gives to the borrower.

I will be following any future developments and will definitely keep my readers informed on any aid or grants that are available to people who are trying to avoid foreclosure and save their homes!

    I have missed 2 mortgage payments and now my loan has ajusted and will go to 10,000.
    per month. Gmac is willing to lower my interest rate but I need it lower enough to afford to stay in the housse. 6/2 % is not good enough. I started working with a modificator at Oceanview investments and they want 10,000. to do the deal with most up front and they will not give me a “work order until that money is given to them?”
    Can you help. I need 31/2 percent rate and do not want to go into foreclosure.

    You are retarded. Yesterday was your day. Congratulations on not losing your helmet.

  5. Keith says:

    What I meant to say was…. you are delusional for requiring an interest rate at 3 1/2%. You were lucky to be given a rate at 6%.

    JSYK

  6. [...] Istället anklagar McCain Obama för att vara väldigt liberal och då ska man förstå att i USA är liberal, i alla fall i vissa kretsar, ett skällsord liknande kommunist i Sverige. McCain menar att Obama slösar med skattebetalarnas pengar. Även här slår dock McCain vilt och är väldigt inkonsekvent då han samtidigt lanserar förslaget att han ska låta finansdepartementet köpa upp alla dåliga huslån och skriva om dem till en ränta som låntagarna har råd med – om han blir president. Detta skulle kosta uppskattningsvis 300 miljarder dollar. Förslaget är inte heller nytt utan kommer från – Hillary Clinton – för ett år sedan! [...]
