Delinquent borrowers facing foreclosure are learning that they can stay in their homes for years, as long as they're willing to put up a fight.

Among the tactics: Challenging the bank's actions, waiting to file paperwork right up until the deadline, requesting the lender dig up original paperwork or, in some extreme cases, declaring bankruptcy.

Guilt ridden thinking about Defaulting on your mortgage?

Wayne Landon: Posted on Thursday, December 22, 2011 1:32 PM

Before you beat yourself up to badly, read the following  news report. Five major mortgage lenders could be facing concessions totaling $19 billion as bank representatives and government officials put finishing touches on a settlement for wrongful mortgage foreclosures, sources have told The Wall Street Journal. Officials have been working with banks for months to determine how they should be held responsible for the mortgage robo-signingscandal  but some states expressed concerns that the deal on the table doesn’t meet their expectations.   The banks involved in the settlement are the nation’s five largest mortgage servicers: Ally Financial Inc., Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., J.P.Morgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co.   While specifics of the settlement have not been disclosed, banks are expected to be responsible for least $19 billion in concessions that could include principal write-downs and interest-rate reductions for homeowners, as well cash penalty payments to the government.   The total amount could jump to as much as $25 billion if California, which accounted for 13.1 percent of all mortgages outstanding and 10.8 percent of all loans in foreclosure, joins in the deal. The state walked away from settlement talks in September.   So how do you feel now, guilty or angry? If you follow mortgage default news like I do, you would note that very reputable news outlets are pointing the finger at the banking community for the mess we have. They are the ones who created the exotic mortgages that few people understood, to fuel the expansion of new mortgages. They want to blame the public for being so stupid, the government for insisting on more mortgages, and Wall Street for bundling mortgages into bond funds to provide liquidity.   They should be brought to their knees like Arthur Anderson for the Enron scandal, but that is not practical, only wishful thinking.   If you want to explore how you deal with your underwater mortgage checkout www.jwlproperties.net for solutions that meet your needs, not those of the banking community
