To them it is acceptable collateral damage (to tank the economy). They still get paid, what’s the biggie??

No worries. All it takes is for St. Bernie to kill it in the senate.
Oh, wait, I just recalled his initials… Doooooh!

I’ll hold off on congratulations to Bernie until his actual conscienced vote against it,even if he has to be the sole vote to stop it. -

Glad to hear Jerry McNerney (CA-11) is the likely winner. I’m in Contra Costa county. Glad we held Harmer to only a .5% advantage in our county!

Dave commented on the blog post Some Questions on Principal Reductions
I refinanced 4/09 into a 30 year fixed at low interest (while I could still qualify… I would not now) with Provident Funding. They immediately sold my mortgage to Citi.
I also submitted a request to Citi via the site you mentioned (≈ 2 weeks ago) for proof that they hold the note (or whatever the proper nomenclature is). I do not believe they have any motivation to respond to me. I put about 55% down when I bought (12/03), so fortunately I am not underwater on my house. (I AM hugely under water on the investment property I bought in 2006, but that is a different, unrelated story.)
You KNOW if a corporation owed a debt that the creditor could not prove it owed, they would have no moral issue in trying to get out of that obligation. Unfortunately, since the problem is so systemic, all the powers to be have signaled that they will not force documentation to be researched properly and corrected (understanding that task is gargantuan).
I imagine the banking system would collapse and create tons of collateral damage, but what if a significant portion of homeowners (underwater or not) started making their mortgage payments to an escrow account (not the servicer) until a ‘blue ink’ note, as Scribe calls it, can be produced.

I agree. I like the indented comments so I can see who’s talkin’ to who.
Great job!
