Spanish mortgage nightmare of debt for refractory facial (AP)

ALCALA DE HENARES, Spain - Inma Rodr?guez lost his job, and now that it breached his mortgage, it is subject to lose her house. But the nightmare does not end there: that once creditors kick her out, she will have to repay money it borrowed to buy his house.

This is an anomaly of mortgage view in much of Europe, but particularly acute these days in Spain, a country struggling with an economic crisis caused by the collapse of the housing bubble. Since the accident of property in 2008, more than 300 000 have been affected by the potential double-whammy of eviction and the mounds of mortgage debt.

"Having difficulty, so much so," said Rodriguez, choking that she looks at the ceiling of the House where she lived for 30 years and two children.

Under the terms of his contract, Rodriguez will probably pay about half of its confirmed, the debt banking, 000-plus ($ 290,000), and the costs of justice and penalties after she left - in striking contrast with the United States, where refractories can return the key of the Bank and out of their debt.

Refractories are a small minority in Spain - 98% of mortgage holders are up to date on payments. But their fate is generates a wave of solidarity as soars record unemployment skyrocketed: when an eviction seems imminent, the demonstrators gather often hundreds outside the property to try to block.

In rallies, demonstrators formed a human cushion and physically prevent the clerks and officials of the Bank with a locksmith in tow to eject residents. The association behind the protests succeeded about 50 times since 2009, although finally just the inevitable delays.

Last week, the Government adopted a decree aimed at resolving the fate of the debtors evicted. It protects more than their salary claimed by banks and changes the way that popular post-foreclosure such debt is calculated to try to trim it.

If the Bank manages to sell a House barred, this amount is struck off the remaining debt. But these days, the standard is that the property is put on sale at auction and to tender. Who has served the Bank takes in charge the House for only half of its value tax originally then erases the amount of debt rest - leaving the borrower still owed a bundle. The legislation adopted last week raises the proportion that the Bank must perform effectively if non-vente to 60 percent.

The platform for the victims of the mortgage - the association directed by door rally - wants to Spain resulted in the American legislation of mortgage loans. But the Spanish Association of banks, which would destroy the system of the Spain, low mortgage interest rates: even now, as the loan-shy banks raise rates, they may be below 3%, with periods of repayment by as much as 40 years and no default mandatory mortgage insurance.

The result, it would be granting loans less, smaller and more expensive which are repayable in less time, which means almost 98% of mortgage holders who make their payments on time suffer them banks.

"Good payers would be those to be injured", he said.

But Rodriguez, a woman of household without use of 56 years, said that it had been victim of a system of Raptor willing to lend money. She says can barely read or write and gets confused in the thick gumbo from its financial difficulties, shared with her ex-husband.

Rodriguez and her husband Manuel, who worked as a painter and Carpenter, pulled a large second mortgage in 2006 to pay off debts, reshape their 3 bedroom apartment to sleep in this town outside Madrid and buy a new car and furniture.

"I know not what I was signing," Rodriguez said in a living room with empty shelves and a broken cuckoo, as three small Yorkshire terrier yapped at his heels.

Six months after the takeover of the mortgage, Rodriguez and her husband separated. Since then, she complains, he is not carved in a penny to the euro1, 000 - more a mortgage payment of months. It did not work almost two-and-half years, and even if it did, it gets euro500 just one month.

"They were so easy." So easy, "Rodriguez told the credit." "If we had not purchased anything or done any, us would not owe anything today.".

Spain to help to combat mortgage holders (AFP)

MADRID (AFP) - the Spain Government has approved measures Friday to help the soaring number of owners, many unemployed, who cannot pay their mortgages.

The Government has, since mid-May with demonstrations across the country of "indignant" demonstrators who won public support by denouncing the State of the economy and corruption.

Among their demands are changes to the laws of strict mortgage foreclosure on Spain.

Under Spanish law, banks have the right to homes for sale by auction in a foreclosure. If no buyers do appear, as is often the case, the Bank may take possession of the House for 50% of its value.

Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said that this percentage would be raised to 60 percent, leaving an offender with a debt of more small to repay.

"No one shall be able to take the power of the House of a person of less than 60% of its value," he told a press conference after a cabinet meeting weekly where the measure was approved.

The Government will also raise the amount of the monthly income of a borrower which may not be seized by a bank default on a loan of House at 961 euros ($1.390) 641 euros, said Rubalcaba.

If the latter has dependants, another 30 percent by Member of the family remain untouchable.

"These are measures aimed essentially to protect those who cannot continue to pay their mortgages," said Rubalcaba.

The number of properties seized in Spain rose ten-fold over the last three years, according to Idealista.com, the largest website in the country.

In the first quarter of the year there were about 22 000 seizures in Spain, according to government statistics. There are 93 000 throughout the last year.

Unemployment rate of the Spain, shot up to 21.29% in the first quarter, the highest in the industrialized countries, following the collapse of a bubble of property in 2008.

The "outrage" would like the Government to amend the legislation to allow homeowners to turn their debt in full by handing over the keys for their properties as in many other countries.

In recent weeks demonstrators blocked successfully the eviction of dozens of owners by preventing the court officials to enter homes to serve notice of expulsion.

A poll published Sunday in the daily newspaper El Pais has 86% of Spaniards back the proposal that banks be forced to write a mortgage debt if the owner gives the lender their home.

Formidable mortgage modifications for homeowners (AP)

HELENA, Mt. -Laverl "Nick" Nicholson used to look out the kitchen window of weeping willows which mark the burial of two of his daughters. Then a debilitating car wreck left unable to pay the amount of $220,000 to be at his home in northwest of Montana.

He tried for a year and a half to lower their mortgage payments through a loan modification, but Government-insured loan that he has taken three years ago has come with limitations. The best that the Bank could offer her was a reduction of $124 per month, leaving a payment of $ 1,585 that he could not always means of Nicholson.

The Bank foreclosed last April, forcing them to move aside in a mobile home on two of 10 acres property initially that he gave his daughter a few years before.

Despite extensive Government prevent seizures by changes in the mortgage, situations like Nicholson became common. Loan modifications are often working because the owner does not understand what is happening, the lender is unwilling to write off the coast of the portion of the loan or, as here, the conditions of a loan from Government-back limit what the Bank can offer a borrower.

Today, the House near the town of Thompson Falls is sold in a bid process sealed by the Ministry of housing and urban development. Asked the price: $87,000.

Nicholson, 50, was angered to see something, dear announced this at a great price.

"I was a blue collar worker my life and I worked hard for what I had." For that it is pushed out there for this award and our family not given first option..., "Nicholson suspended." "Things are not supposed to be this way in America." A man is not supposed to lose her home $ 220,000 to sell for $87,000 "."

Nicholson, like many Americans, was drawn to the Federal Housing Administration loan to refinance his house, because he gives good terms as a percentage of 3.5 downpayment. He used the $268 he borrowed against his home to invest in his business as a contractor in maintenance of sawmill working in the Northwest and across the country.

But with the car accident in 2008 which breaks two vertebrae in the neck and pre-existing degenerative disease in his back, he becomes unable to work. He begins to Miss mortgage payments, and the organization that has linked his company discovered his delinquency, causing him to lose his bond and his company.

Foreclosure started and it has become necessary for Nicholson to seek relief for the mortgage, but FHA loan modification conditions were limited. Wells Fargo loan officer could not offer him a 5.375% interest rate, rate continuous market, and unlike its mandate non - FHA loans may be extended for 30 years instead of 40 years.

Supply would be declined payments Nicholson 1,709-$ 1,585.71. He requested additional relief which would have lowered his payments less than $1,000 per month. He has been denied.

"I'm lost." I am a person of mechanical type, said Nicholson. "My knowledge in this area is not good." I therefore on what I said. »

Wells Fargo spokesman Tom Goyda said that the Bank followed FHA guidelines offering Nicholson, a loan modification.

"We have worked for more than a year to prevent foreclosure." "Available under FHA guidelines we were unable to find an option allowing him to remain at home at a price he could afford," said Goyda. "At that time, he did y no alternative left for modification."

Wells Fargo had already sold mortgage Nicholson by Ginnie Mae, the Government National Mortgage Association, an investor who buys these titles, such as a mutual fund or a pension fund. When Home foreclosure, Wells Fargo bought the loan to pay the unpaid balance investor.

The Bank has filed a claim with the FHA provides insurance on loans made by approved lenders. FHA refund Wells Fargo for principal unpaid $ 220,000 and approved expenses.

Who left the Federal Government to unload the House for about one third of the unpaid principal from Nicholson.

"Who will eat the difference between $220 and $87,000?", said Julie Hope, an adviser for NeighborWorks Montana, a group of non-profit housing help Nicholson. "The lender of out of it because they have turned in their claim on it and received their money".

FHA says it costs the taxpayers nothing because just money used to pay claims payments of mortgage insurance by homeowners who borrow part of the program.

FHA has paid approximately $ 12.8 billion on 100 000 of these claims seized homes by 2010, an average of $128 000 per application, said the spokesman for the Department of housing and urban development Lemar Wooley.

The previous year, FHA paid 70,000 claims at an average cost of approximately $117 million, for a total of nearly $ 8.2 billion.

Loans have become very popular in the past four years, maximum of 2 per cent of the volume of the mortgage in 2006 to approximately 30 percent industry today.

FHA loans have a lower rate of foreclosure that loans non - FHA. At the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2010, all loans foreclosure rate of 4.39% compared to 3.32% to the FHA loans Wooley said, citing data from Mortgage Bankers Association delinquency.

Wooley said banks may simply prohibit someone with an FHA loan to save themselves the hassle and the possible monetary loss of a loan modification. FHA-approved lenders are required to try to help borrowers avoid foreclosure or face sanctions, he said.

"Lenders who committed no loss mitigation and a claim will be paid by HUD are subject to administrative measures, including sanctions of three times the amount of the debt paid to the lender," says Wooley.

But that will make easier for borrowers like Nicholson trying to wade through their options with a delay of foreclosure hung on them.

"We encourage Distressed borrowers to come into contact with an organization approved by HUD counseling as soon as possible in the process," said Marietta Rodriguez, national Director of NeighborWorks America to the home ownership and lending.

Nicholson and NeighborWorks study if it was viable wrongful foreclosure claim, but he primarily wants to leave the Word as a warning to others who may also be switching on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, he hopes that he could see her daughter and her husband, one day move into the House where she grew up.

"I would never go back into the House, but it would be nice to have my children near me." Finally, my health is going to give and I will be in a wheelchair. It would be nice to have them close to help, he said.

Court rules against banks for mortgage pivot (AP)

By DENISE LAVOIE and MICHELLE CONLIN, Associated Press, Denise Lavoie and Michelle Conlin, Associated Press - Fri Jan 7, 10: 18 pm EST

The highest court of Massachusetts ruled against U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo & Co. Friday in a case of foreclosure mortgage pivot that could cause unrest and uncertainty in the housing market already mired in depression.

A Supreme Court confirmed lower judge's ruling invalidating two mortgage foreclosure sales because banks, as their mortgage-backed securities, trustees have not proven that that they had indeed the mortgage at the time of the seizure.

Decision, which highlights the failure of financial companies to adhere to the rules governing mortgage-backed securities, is likely to cause more borrowers continue the Bank staff and trustees for unjustified seizures. It is unclear what the decision to the individuals who were forced from their homes after their default loans or for those who have purchased homes from foreclosure sales.

"There's now thousands of these houses which were purchased by seizures treated very similarly, where titles are defective," says Ward P. Graham, an attorney for title of Massachusetts who has co-authored a friend-of-the-court brief in the case on behalf of the Association du Barreau Real Estate for Massachusetts, Inc..

Last fall, foreclosure machine banking industry came under scrutiny of revelations that employees at low altitude called "robo signatories" powered by hundreds of foreclosure affidavits a day without checking a single sentence. At the time, analysts warned that allegedly fraudulent document procedures banks could jeopardize their ability to prove that they held mortgages. The decision of Massachusetts stokes these concerns.

"This decision will raise serious problems in hundreds of thousands of cases of foreclosure," said owner-defence attorney Thomas Cox, a Prosecutor in Maine, which was one of the first to develop the signature scandal robo national honor. It has the potential to require that the seizures do, and I think it will be murky important nationally. There is substantial uncertainty. »

In the case of Massachusetts, a Supreme Court concluded that the banks were not the originals of the hypothecary creditors, have not shown that they owned the mortgage at the time of the seizure. Accordingly, the Court concluded, banks do not demonstrate that foreclosure sales were valid.

Banks argued as securitization, documents that they submitted sufficient to prove that they owned mortgages before the publication of the notices of sale and foreclosure sales. Wells Fargo said Friday that the trustee of a pool of securitization of loans expected those serving loans to comply with all laws applicable state, including those governing foreclosure sales. The Bank of San Francisco was a trustee of the trust securitized in question. American Home Mortgage servicing Inc, was the agent.

In a separate statement U.S. Bancorp said that the judgment has no financial impact on the company. "The issues addressed by the Court focused on the process of loan on behalf of the securitization trust conducted here by the agent, American Home mortgage," the Bank, which is based in Minneapolis, said. Later issued another statement saying that, as trustee of the securitization trust has no responsibility for the terms of the underlying mortgage process of foreclosure, the conduct of Constable, the process by which the mortgage is transferred to the trust or the sufficiency of the documentation of the mortgage. »

American Home mortgage servicing, which is based in Coppell, Texas, said in a statement that the "decision is of limited application because it is based on the right is unique and specific to Massachusetts." The decision does not extend to seizures in other States. »

Paul Collier III, attorney representing Antonio Ibanez, one of the owners in the case, said the decision affects thousands of mortgages in Massachusetts and could have an impact on the banking industry of the nation.

"Building owners and seizures in General, this means that any mortgage foreclosure which was launched by a securitised trust, in an era where the trust did not obtain a mortgage assignment which gave him the legal right to do so is void." "These owners, like Mr. Ibanez, still have the property", said the necklace.

He has until regulators to take steps to eliminate the uncertainty on the mortgages raised by decision, said Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin. Without legislation, the tribunal's decision will have a "chilling effect" on the real estate market, he said.

The broader implications of the case sent Bank lower stocks, with a stock of Wells Fargo dropped the 65 cents, or 2 percent, close to the $31.50. He traded soon as low as $30.64.

U.S. Bancorp stock slid 20 cents to close at $26.09, having lost over 2.4 per cent after the judgment.
