New HAMP Guidelines Include Borrowers in Bankruptcy
A new opportunity to assist consumer bankruptcy clients facing foreclosure opened up yesterday, when Treasury Department Supplemental Directive 10-02 took effect. Among other things, the directive requires servicers to consider borrowers in bankruptcy for modification upon request of the borrower, the debtors bankruptcy attorney or the bankruptcy trustee.

This is a great news. Traditional mortgage modifications are often hard to achieve for debtors.
The Hamp program is what sent me into bankruptcy in the first place. It is my opinion that this program coupled with my mortgage company and the nightmare they put me into by offering me this plan, was a very ineffective solution.
