New revised rules under HAMP decree that beginning June 1, servicers are prohibited from foreclosing on a borrower until the borrower has been fully evaluated and their loan modification eligibility determined under HAMP. Servicers will be required to send borrowers a foreclosure process explanation letter detailing the eligibility consideration process and advising borrowers to pay attention to foreclosure notices.
If this pans out, it will help some homeowners. What I would hate to see is a repeat of every other HAMP guideline; the banks utter failure to observe them. Stay tuned.
