Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) Update

Dennis Norman

As readers know, I have been somewhat critical of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) which is part of the Obama administrations’ Making Home Affordable Program for a few reasons, one is I believe it is just a temporary “band-aid” and not a cure for the problem and two, it does not appear the program is going to help near as many people as the Obama administration initially said it would. Yesterday a report was issued that shows there is progress being made and, through the end of March, a total of 230,000 homeowners have received a permanent loan modification, which is good, but it is not enough to put the program on track to help 3-4 million people by 2012 as originally promised (although as I addressed in a recent post, the administration has changed their position on what was promised).

Highlights from the report:

  • HAMP Trials offered to borrowers since inception of program – 1,436,802
  • All HAMP Trials Started Since Program Inception – 1,166,925
    • 57,000 new trial modifications were added in March, down from 72,000 in February.
  • Permanent modfications have been received – 230,801
    • Over 60,000 trial modifications converted to permanent modifications in March, and increase from almost 53,000 in February.
  • Current Active Modifications (Trial and Permanent) – 1,008,873
    • Active Trial Modifications – 780,951
    • Active Permanent Modifications – 227,922
  • Pending Permanent Modifications – 108,212
  • Trial Modifications Canceled – 155,173
  • Permanent Modifications Canceled – 2.879

    If it walks like a piggy, talks like a piggy, by golly it’s a PIGGY!

    BofA and it’s CEO Brian Moynihan reminds me of that song by John Lennon and George Harrison titled “Piggies” I invite you to listen to this song on youtube and see if it appropriately fits.

    Have you seen the little piggies
    Crawling in the dirt
    And for all the little piggies
    Life is getting worse
    Always having dirt to play around in.

    Have you seen the bigger piggies
    In their starched white shirts
    You will find the bigger piggies
    Stirring up the dirt
    Always have clean shirts to play around in.

    In their ties with all their backing
    They don’t care what goes on around
    In their eyes there’s something lacking
    What they need’s a damn good whacking.

    Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
    Living piggy lives
    You can see them out for dinner
    With their piggy wives
    Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

    When I filed my lawsuit against Bank of America, myself and United Law Group thought of the many others out there in the same situation. It was then that we decided to educate the public on what these piggy banks are doing, as well as unite us all together as one voice. Please help me turn this David vs. Goliath modification process, into a Goliath vs. Goliath.

    Please stand with me and United Law Group and send an email to Bank of America that states that we will no longer tolerate their potentially illegal, fraudulent, irregular and abusive business methods.

    Divided we might have fell America, but united we must stand!

    Please send your email directly to Bank of America and include the following:

    1. Your name
    2. Your complaint concerning your experience with Bank of America.
    3. Please end your email “I support John Wright vs. BofA Lawsuit!”

    Update:
    On 04/23/10 Patricia from Bank of America called me. She said she could not speak to me because I am in litigation with BofA. Apparently, she is a CEO and really high up there. You should call her and ask her about your modifications and say “I support the John Wright Vs. Bank of America Lawsuit.” The number she called from was: 818-713-2886.
