this is all a scam a plot by the rich big wigs at wall street and the banks to take advantage of the poor and middle class all these houses are overpriced in the firt place.then they foreclose sell at the highest bid.who wins the rich man like like always they buy them at 50 to 60 percent of value.then the goverment loans them the money to buy them. which bye the way we gave to them in the first place who wins not the guy who paid his mortgage until the the company that he worked for sent his job oversees.

After tried to modify the bank's house loan(where I live) for several month and being in a trial period with Citimortgage. They kicked me out of the modification program for a real silly reason after they juiced my money trying to be in good standing with them. I believe they just tried to get as much as they can from us but there's not real help.

We have gone to all these programs to help save our home and what have they done for us NOTHING!!!!
The Hope Program but as we call them Hope the Joke Program stated that all they can do for us was to send us a package of what to do to save our home and that all.
We went with a other program called MOCHA in Salinas CA, I had to finally threaten the girl that I was going to go to her supervisor if she did not help all she did then was to sign our modification letter which I filled out on my own.
My husband and I are both working and have overtime we make decent money but, yet we can't get help with modifying our loan. Our loan payment is $3800.00 and it will be going up another $300.00.
We have contacted Sun Trust Mortgage and they stated our 1st loan was sold to and investor which is Well Fargo, we get told many different stories every week I contact the bank as to status of our modification.
Is there any one in the White House we can trust and find out what the banks are looking at to see if you qualify for help and are they really helping?
Every day we have hyenas contacting us its what I call them people that prey on Foreclosure folks that are losing there homes. The Hyenas calls us mails letters to us come to our house stating they can help us save our home but there a price.
WHO DO WE TURN TO I KNOW THERE MANY OF US OUT THERE STILL HANGING TO A THREAD.
Is there help out there our should we just turn the keys to the bank?

I would like to know. who do you contact for information. We were not informed that that our has was going to be foreclosed. our mortage company came by this morning and told us that we have to be out monday morning.
There has been no notice written or other wise. In fact she acted as if it was a big joke.And thought it was a big joke that we had tried to do a short sale

Honestly, how hard is it to give people the contact information they need IN the actual article?
Good luck to those who need it. These are terrible times.

They are saying, that we could stay as renters. But for me it was a different experience. My life is now a disaster. I asked the company to let me stay in my home as a renter. He said, no he want me out. I have to get out of the house on 11/18/2009; before noon. I heard about so many programs, that the president offer. But if you can't afford to pay the laywers. There is no help. I try every thing possible. But no help. I NEED HELP. SO THAT MAYBE I COULD STAY AS A RENTER.
