Foreclosure Horror Stories

The foreclosure crisis that we are currently witnessing is one of the greatest economic tragedies that we have seen in America in modern times.  Millions of people are getting kicked out of their homes, and the U.S. government and mortgage lenders are providing little to no real help.  It is a real shame to see so many American families get dumped out on to the street because of the greed of a few.  And unfortunately, foreclosures in the United States continue to set new records.  The number of foreclosures set another all-time record for the second consecutive month in May.  In addition, the number of newly initiated foreclosures rose 18.6 percent to 370,856 during the first quarter of 2010.  What that means is that the foreclosure crisis is getting even worse.  Tens of millions of Americans desperately need foreclosure help, but pretty much nobody seems interested in helping them.  Foreclosure horror stories are multiplying as large numbers of American families are struggling to pay mortgages that they didn't understand and couldn't afford in the first place.  Unless someone steps forward to help the tens of millions of Americans that are in danger of foreclosure, the tragedy is going to end up being unspeakable.

ForeclosureForeclosuresWhat a mess the U.S. housing market is!  RealtyTrac has announced that foreclosure filings in the U.S. will establish an all time record for the second consecutive year in 2009.  A record 3.9 million notices will be sent to homeowners in default by the time the year ends.  Never before has there been a time when so many Americans were in need of foreclosure help.  RealtyTrac also announced that foreclosure filings exceeded 300,000 for the ninth straight month in November.  The truth is that millions of Americans are losing their homes and the foreclosure epidemic is not showing any signs of abating any time soon.  Millions more American families will be facing foreclosure in 2010 unless the U.S. economy makes a miraculous recovery - and the odds of that happening are somewhere between slim and none.

What Really Happened?

12The subprime industry was at one time, an option given to those with damaged credit, and people who had few options to obtain a home. Much research has shown that an astounding number of people who mortgaged under a subprime loan could have qualified for much better. We have a combination of lenders wanting to pocket quick money and a buyer that wasn't educated on the biggest decision of their lives. (Read More.....)
