Why Foreclosure Defense Is Needed Today

Securitizing mortgages is fairly new. It began in the past decade. Since then the game has changed and the home owners have been paying the price.
What Happens To Your Home Mortgage Loan
If your mortgage loan has not been packaged and sold to investors it is a rare case. Securitized mortgage loans are big business and make many very wealthy. You may have been wondering why you never know who owns you mortgage. Here is just one journey your mortgage makes.
1) Mortgage Loans Sold for discount
2) Bundled and Sold to Investors
3) Investor not Lender in control of mortgage
4) Companies called mortgage servicers collect payments and issue default notices.
5) Payments (recievables) back the bonds.
6) If payments aren’t made the mortgagor will be foreclosed on.
A mortgage defense is what you will need to expose the fact that your lender no longer owns your mortgage. Can you see how your bank may not have your best interest when you’re pursuing your modification?
If your bank does its analysis and find that they will yield higher return by foreclosure, you can bet you will not get your modification for your securitized loan and if you do you will certainly be paying for the service on the back end or giving a measly amount causing you to end up foreclosing up the road.
In a court of law the lender must prove that they own your mortgage loan to collect or foreclose. Of course a bank without this proof will forgive a balance or grant new terms (modification) without a problem .
A foreclosure defense approach will give your attorney and bank hard facts about the status of your mortgage that will force the bank to happily agree to favorable terms or be sued.
Don’t Believe Me? Answer These Questions?
1) Why do you call your bank for a modification and can’t get through? The banks don’t make money giving modifications; so why hire a staff and throw away more money.
2) Can you get a consultant when you want to open an account? Opening accounts mean the bank is receiving money to make more money.
3) Why doesn’t the bank hire more people in the mortgage modification department? My guess is that it will cost more money and they are in business to make money.
4) Why does it take so long for a modification to be granted? If you wait long enough you will give up your home and run out of time still losing your home. The bank will drag out this process.
