Homeowner loans negotiated by wells fargo and Bank of America

New deals concerning homeowner loans and mortgage deals are currently being discussed by Wells Fargo and Bank of America. With the foreclosure practices being the emphasis, other banks including JPMorgan Chase, Ally Financial and Citi are settling the rules that need to be implemented with regards to this. The current negotiation includes more aggressive procedures for these banks and this might involve reducing the principal and also opting for short-term sales.

Currently, the mentioned banks are under investigation on their foreclosure practices and the way they handle homeowner loans. This was brought by reports that the rules being implemented last year were not thoroughly reviewed and there might be practices that might not be acceptable.

Additionally, aid from them to support homeowner loans especially of troubled homeowners who are facing negative equity was also not seen from the previous years. The negotiation is still ongoing with pressures from the government to reduce the principal while the banks are still evaluating the deal.

It was also a concern to emphasize that these banks should not issue a foreclosure while a loan modification process is being done or in place. This is important since most of the homeowners faced foreclosure even when they are just attempting to get help for their loan modifications.
