I know this is not directly related to the original question of this post, but WOW! Some of the comments on this post is just-wow; really? I mean the bank is really out there to get you? Really? Wow. Banks are not interested in misleading or tricking anyone. They are not interested in tricking you, so that they can take your house. If you want to borrow money, the bank is willing to lend you money.
You are just as much responsible to understand what you are signing. No one is putting a gun to your head and say, sign on this dotted line for a 30 year mortgage. It’s a choice. Pay your bills that you agreed to pay, and the bank will not foreclose on you. Period. The end.
Paul I must disagree with you because there are plenty of documented and reported case on how banks are misleading people. The Banking industry is the biggest problem in this country. They have been getting sued by consumers for decades for clear fraud, forgery, and flat out lying. I know that this is my post and off topic but the banking industry is predatory, you must see that.
It may not seem that way to certain people that have big money relationships with banks and great credit and I am not mad at those people for having the knowledge, fortitude or inheritance to be in that group. I'm trying to get there as well. But when you tell me that you can help me with a modification, tell me not to send any payments for 3 months, and purposely delay the paperwork so that it can become 90 days late so the mortgage insurance can pay for the house and you sell it to a servicing company, that's predatory. This, even after I got suspicious and started sending in payments, which they sent back to make sure it went into default. This practice is what Bank Of America is being sued for now.
Millions of houses are in a POOL with millions of other houses in MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration System) so that Wall Street Cats can get fatter, which is illegal because it separates the note from the mortgage making it an unsecured debt. - Can you say "Bifurcation"?.
Banks are holding on to houses that are upside down so that they will not show a loss on their books. Even if those houses become dilapidated and bring down a neighborhood they hold on to them. Are these not tricks? My mortgage has clear forgeries on it but I don't have the power or clout to fight them. Every time they assign your house to another bank without your consent or signature that's fraud.
As I have said I can't be mad at them because they are the champions of the world, I just have to adapt to their games by learning the rules. But they are the worst and most terrible parasites to our society. Yes, I said it. Why do you think private investors are the new banks. And soon the first adopters of cryptocurrency will be the new banking industry, without the lies and fraud. Remember you heard that prediction here first.
