Calabasas, California (PRWEB) June 16, 2011
Philip Kramer, lead lawyer at the Law Offices of Kramer and Kaslow, lately commented on a Propublica write-up about mortgage modification issues. According to the news publication Propublica.org, A lot of homeowners have been granted a difficult-fought mortgage modification only to have their mortgage company efficiently pull a bait and switch.

Propublica goes on to report, To get a sense of how widespread this problem is, the nonprofit Connecticut Fair Housing Center conducted an informal survey of 16 legal aid organizations and one particular private attorney. In practically a quarter of the 655 situations of modifications they reviewed, the mortgage servicer did not abide by the terms of the agreement.

Bryan Hubbard, a spokesman for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the primary regulator for the country’s largest banks, said in the report that, Regulators were aware of the issues and are placing processes in place to address them. The banks, for instance, will soon be required to give a “single point of contact” for every homeowner, so that when an error does happen, the homeowner will supposedly be in a position attain somebody knowledgeable about their case.

When asked to comment, Philip A. Kramer, a noted litigator whose firm Kramer & Kaslow has filed consolidated plaintiff litigation lawsuits on behalf of hundreds of home owners against some of the nations top banks, said, This behavior is standard, sadly. Its a mixture of arrogance and incompetence. Perhaps worse, due to the fact what normally takes place is that when a homeowner gets an attorney involved, the banks get responsive. That suggests that at the really least, they can get factors appropriate when they have to.
