According to the research firm RealtyTrac, a record 2.9 million homes fell into foreclosure in 2010, with banks seizing more than 1 million homes. By the end of December, roughly one out of every 500 housing units in the U.S. had received a foreclosure filing. More than 3 million foreclosure notices are expected in 2011. One still hard to find statistic: 80% of the homeowners who do what their bank says and avoid the use of professional companies to assist them are the ones that lost their homes to foreclosures.

First let’s review to see if this is the first time that Bank of America has been accused of pretending to modify loans:

BofA Sued AGAIN Over HAMP: Bank Accused Of Lying About Lost Paperwork

Arthur Delaney - 07/12/2010 02:00 PM In a new lawsuit seeking class-action status, homeowners accuse Bank of America of systematically and deliberately failing to comply with the Obama administration’s mortgage modification program by lying to borrowers about missing paperwork and fudging their financial information, among other things… (Huffington Post)

For some time now the nation has been abuzz with the knowledge that more than 6 million loans issued over the past decade are predatory. Almost every homeowner who has attempted to work directly with his servicer to get their loan cleaned up (modified) has found that they’ve been lied to, stalled, cheated, mislead, and then foreclosed upon. Thus the Lenders have been labeled as predatory servicers. Now it has come to light that the foreclosure of these loans is also nothing but a pack of lies. Those are the predatory foreclosures. Tila Solutions has been using Forensic Loan Reviews or Forensic Loan audits for quite some time now to show the federal violations in loans and save homes. The use of forensics has been a powerful resource to stop foreclosure.

Banks are not above the law, but they will try to operate as if they are. Here’s the latest: Bank of America has claimed that a couple from Indiana really doesn’t have a case against them for robo-signed foreclosure documents. Why? Because the family, according to BofA, didn’t try to do anything to stop the foreclosure, thus they can’t prove the bank “harmed” them. Now, here’s the real question: Is it true? Are people really just not making their payments and ignoring all those letters and phone calls and then letting the bank take their home? In the main, no- they are all over it, trying desperately to resolve the situation and save their home. It is just their word against the banks.

Last week the several major newspapers released the news that Bank of America was finding “errors” in the paperwork. The Bank claimed that they found maybe 10 to 25 errors in the first 100 files reviewed; of course many are concerned over the bank’s inability to say if it was ten or eleven, or twenty-five. This week, despite their admittance of “flawed foreclosures” (that’s just a pretty word for predatory foreclosures or fraudulent foreclosures) they announced that their Foreclosure Frenzy will resume at full speed in 23 states (the judicial states) and Bank of America also claimed foreclosure numbers should be around 100,000. GMAC also announced they will resume their foreclosures as well. JP Morgan Chase has remained silent on the subject thus far.

Thousands of people are losing their homes to foreclosure or filing bankruptcy to prevent the loss of their home through foreclosure every month. In fact, recent reports from industry insiders are claiming that there are more than 7,000 bankruptcies being filed each day, while some have projected that big banks like BofA and Wells Fargo could be releasing as many as 25,000 homes to foreclosure proceedings by December of 2010. In many instances homeowners have been led down a not-so-merry path, often being told that their home is under review for a loan mod, which inevitably is denied, as a foreclosure auction date is sent to the homeowner.

Over the past several days three of the major banks have released to the news that they have stalled foreclosures. A closer look reveals that the lenders GMAC, Chase, and Bank of America have only stalled foreclosures for an estimated two to four week window in 23 states. The 23 states are those which specifically use the judicial system to get foreclosures completed. This means that if you are in a state that does what is known as a non-judicial foreclosure, such as California, then your foreclosure is not stalled.

Important for homeowners is Congress’s plans to form a new agency to crack down on deceptive mortgages and other financial products in the future. It also aims to better protect consumers, tighten the reins on financial institutions and stop rewarding executives for taking reckless risks to fatten their quarterly earnings and bonuses.
