Helping Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy Act of 2009
Congress just recently introduced legislation, which if passed, will allow homeowners to renegotiate their home loans without the consent of the lender. This new legislation under Title 11 is court ordered and there is very little a lender can do to oppose it. Essentially, it would allow a mortgage to be rewritten as follows: 1) Principal balance reduced to fair market value of the property; 2) Interest rates reduced to a reasonable rate; and 3) Term of loan spread over up to 40 years.
SO, HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP TODAY - contact your Congressperson and tell them that you support S. 61 and HR 200. Together, we can make a difference!
