mortgage after crash?

[Account Closed]

Hi, 

I spoken to someone today in Los Angeles and they said they brought their property before the crash at about $230k, after the crash the value went down to $80k, they said there was a program that came in during that crash period and now then their new mortgage was reduced to $80k, which was the valve after the crash.  Question: was there a program like this during that time?

Thanks
