Calabasas, CA (PRWEB) June 06, 2011
The internet site http://www.propublica.org (http://www.propublica.org/write-up/in-fine-print-banks-demand-struggling-homeowners-to-waive-rights) is reporting that a lot of lenders are requiring homeowners to waive all their rights to sue for errors if they want to seek a loan modification or other type of assistance.

“I am troubled, but not shocked, that this is still occurring,” Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who has been pushing a bill to ban these waiver clauses since 2008, was quoted in the internet site report. “The mortgage servicing market has been broken for quite some time and demands substantial reforms.”

As reported in Propublica.org, Neil Brazil, a spokesman for HSBC, stated the bank does not include any rights waiver in its regular modification agreements, but that attorneys pursuing foreclosure on its behalf may well consist of them when providing a homeowner a forbearance strategy. Brazil declined to say if HSBC included the clauses much more generally. He emphasized that HSBC had been operating with the borrower for over two years.

Propublica also reports that Bank of America, the country’s largest servicer, included related language in agreements late final year not only in New York, but many other states.

Philip Kramer, a perennial winner of the prestigious Southern California Super Lawyer award has stated that what the banks are performing is outrageous misconduct. Kramer, whose firm Kramer-Kaslow has launched multiple consolidated plaintive litigation lawsuits against lenders on behalf of property owners, argues that, The banks are feeling a lot of stress simply because of their wrongdoing and are attempting to steer clear of their day in court.
