  • Since the first Hope for

    Since the first Hope for Homeowner's program was announced, I have been shouting the same message. These programs are purely voluntary, provide no reason for any lender to participate, and provide no punishment to any lender for not participating. The largest problem that we (those of us who are banging our heads against the wall trying to help people short sell homes and work out modifications to their mortgages)face is that every other week, the government comes out with a "new" program, announcing "trillions of dollars" to be spent on saving homes. It is next to impossible to find out how these programs work, which banks are participating and when you finally get information, it turns out that few, if any homeowners, will qualify. STOP COMING UP WITH NEW PROGRAMS. THE BANKS ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING, SINCE EVERY OTHER WEEK, THE GOVERNMENT KEEPS OFFERING SOMETHING NEW!!!! Once it becomes clear that no more money is going to come from the government, the mortagees will have no choice but to come to the table and negotiate. Until that time . . . Peter J. Pike, Esq.

    Wow, what a shock! Fraud in the days of liar's loans and ninja loans! Who would ever have thunk it? Instead of writing something that is painfully obvious when it is happening, how about writing about how it should not be allowed to happen ever again? Peter J. Pike, Esq.

    I think you hit the nail on the head with your response as to why the young lady feels she deserves a bailout. Anyone who went into the market, understanding the risks of the loans they took out, and have no reason why they now cannot afford those loans, have to look in the mirror and accept responsibility for their own actions. This is not to say that people who were truly ripped off through predatory lending practices (which happened a lot more often that people realize) should be stuck in their present situation. However, those people have a remedy, by suing the lender and mortgage broker for illegal lending practices. Peter J. Pike, Esq. McNeese Title, LLC Destin, Florida
