It is believed to be a fundametal Judeo-Christian philosophy (one of the many we've adopted into western society) but the truth is that if one checks the Bible - rarely was charity of any sort a secret.

After glancing thorugh this thread, there appears to be some bad information.A fornesic loan audit is not the process of having you or your attorney tell the bank to "produce the note" which some have done to stall their foreclosure process.Rather, a fornesic loan audit (at least a real one) is where an experienced attorney goes over your loan documents as well as the appraisal documents and idnetifies (if they exist) any violations in the TILA (Truth in Lending Act), loan fraud, appraisal fraud, RESPA violations, etc.

I don't think I could go very far telling the truth all the time.
