Due to unfair bank practices, too a lot of Americans have been adversely impacted by the housing crisis. On January 1, 2013, the Homeowner Bill of Rights (HBOR) went into effect in California.

A element of the bill prohibits the method identified as dual tracking, exactly where a lender forecloses on a house whilst simultaneously negotiating a loan modification or short sale in order to steer clear of foreclosure (and preserve the Property owners credit).

Though foreclosure prices have lately decreased, these statistics are in comparison to historical higher rates of foreclosure in the final four years.

Foreclosure prices: 11.9% (Latinos), 9.8% (African Americans) five% (Whites) (Center for Responsible Lending)
Approximately 23% of all Home owners are at the moment underwater (Multiple sources) 
The recidivism price on loan modifications going back into default is higher (A number of sources) and
