& amp; #8220; The bank is not making a job enough good, & amp; #8221; Said Michael S. Barr, Secretary of the Treasure of aid for the institutions financial institutions, in a published article the last Sunday in New York Times. After the government the hundreds expenses of billions of the dollars that put outside the bank in temporary freedom, the management of Obama have unrolled the program of modification of loan $75 billion in order to show the relative contribution to the harassed owners of room. But if the test of the pudding is in the food, the owners of room are going starved. An arrested program of loan modification could not be alarming if the same crisis of preclusione reducing. However to the september conclusion, 14,4 for one hundred records of the mutuatari they were or in the preclusione or the delinquent on their mortgages, l' association of the mortgage bankers has marked. It& amp; #8217; time of s so that the government recognizes the defects in the relative program and generating one that could really succeed. Then only the refueling of the houses to sell and the tension on the forehead of the prices connected with that shelf, reduced being. The program of Ministry of the treasury has decided to face the delinquent problem of mortgage reducing the interest rate on eleggibile borrowers& amp; #8217; loans to a level that carries out the payments buyable salaries. But as it calculates l' accessibility is one of the program& amp; #8217; & amp main of the defects of s; #151; at least that& amp; #8217; s the sight of Laurie Goodman, director of greater control to the group of emergencies of the Amherst and head of strategy of mortgage to the company. Its search extension, as an example, those 70 for hundreds of the modifications that are involved only the cuts of interest rate, rather than the reductions of the main mutuatari must, have come to lack after 12 months. The program of Ministry of the treasury is probable to have similar result. According to the investigators of government, the hypothecating payment medium salary for a mutuatario nell' within of the modifications begins them of program has fallen from 34 for hundreds. Estimating for the possible happened one nell' within of these terms, the redefault passed analyzed Goodman of l$signora the currency on the modifications that cut the payments from 34 for hundreds. It has found that 65 for hundreds of the mutuatari have fallen newly within crime. The terms of the loan modifications moreover render them particularly breakdown-tilt because the government calculates the & amp; #8220; affordability& amp; #8221; (how much debit of mortgage a mutuatario can really direct) in a & amp highly unusual of sense; #151; raising the issues series for the market of the lodgings over all and for the program& amp; #8217; effectiveness of s for the mutuatari. Moreover, the investor in the first pledges, like the cases of pension and the mutualistic active trusts, moreover obtain struck in on in this process. As an example, nell' invention of what considers a buyable hypothecating payment, the doesn& amp of program; #8217; the t it represents all the borrower& amp; #8217; & amp of debits of s; #151; before the mortgage, according to pledge, the debit of the credit card and the payments dell' automobile. Instead, it calculates l' accessibility only using the borrower& amp; #8217; hypothecating payment of s before, assurance and land taxes. Consequently, what can be similar quickly to a buyable hypothecating payment nell' within of the program of Ministry of the treasury becomes oneroso when l' other debit joins. While the government can ignore a borrower& amp; #8217; obligation of pledge of s second and revolving credit, you can be sure that the creditors that those loans not Redefaults have extended seem a probable result. An other defect in the program, l$signora the Goodman has said, is the relative omission to consider how much fairness, or l' negative fairness for that matter, the mutuatario has on a property. It has said that while many analysts contendono that unemployment is the main preannouncer dell' mortgage stabilizes, its search extension quell' fairness negative, when a mutuatario must more on the house that is worth, is really the motive power. L$signora the Goodman recently has compared the experiences in the main mutuatari of mortgage that live in the zones to a rate unemployment of 8 for hundreds. Those with at least 20 for hundreds of fairness in their properties were falling two payments behind for the first time to a rate only 0,22 for hundreds a month. But the same rate crime of 60 days for those who it has at least had 120 for hundreds of the value of their houses was 1,46 for hundreds a month. & amp; #8220; We have given of soccer to the problem down the road with the modifications that don& amp; #8217; job of t, & amp; #8221; L$signora the Goodman has said the week slid in un' interview. & amp; #8220; You must certainly recall the second pledges and at last to have type of main program of write-down so as to the mutuatari inscatolano king-equify.& amp; #8221; Unfortunately, billion is a reason $442 for which eliminating the second pledges it is not high on the government& amp; #8217; agenda of s: that is the amount of second mortgages and the lines of domestic fairness of accreditation on the budgets of the Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan chase and Citigroup. & amp of this bank; #151; a lot the same companies that the Ministry of the treasury is inviting in order to modify the loans that assist the & amp; #151; it has interest the zero in annotating second pledges that they hold because it would mean ulterior damaging of their budgets. It says that a disturbed mutuatario has before a mortgage of property from a case of pension in a confidence of securitization and in according to pledge held from the bank that assists the loans. The servicer he is happy for modifying before the mortgage in the picture of the program of Ministry of the treasury because the estate dell' case of pension that lend takes the greatest blow while according to pledge it is not dealt. This damages l' investor who holds before the mortgage and the mutuatario, that must pay outside according to pledge, than typically has the interest rates more meaningfully elevated. The result? Still an other conflict of interest that enriches the companies financial institutions while impoverendo the investor and the consumers. An interesting point of reference: when the bank possesses all the mortgages on a property seem to see the merit in the main modifications of reduction. Studying the data of government of according to trimester, available the most recent one, l$signora the Goodman has found that when the bank has possessed the loans, 30,5 for hundreds of the modifications have reduced the main equilibriums. When they supply a service to qualcun' other & amp; #8217; the loan of s or holds according to pledge on the property, very rarely allows the main reductions. Naturally, grida of the risk the moral they will burst if the large mutuatari obtain ransom within their main equilibriums. With justice thus. Why they would have those who has undertaken too much debit in order to buy too much house obtains saved when those who was prudent they go unrewarded? But not to make nothing moreover has risks, more obvious being continuous preclusioni, than nobody it wants and it is left over you decline in the prices of the real estate that danneggieranno the owners of room thus like the investor.
