I swear I heard the LRA guy on WWL a week or two back say that lenders could *not* do this. How can these people get their damn money back if they'd rather rebuild under their current mortgage. I"m drowing in stuff to do, but hope somebody finds time to find out if it's true they can't (shouldn't) do this, and what recourse those folks would have to get their money back.
Unfortunately (well, fortunately), I no longer have the free time that I used to. I try to glance at other blogs on my lunch break, but I can't do much else at work. I do remember another local blogger writing about his problems with a lender, but I can't remember who or exactly when. I do remember that it was countrywide, but I couldn't find it.
I gave it a second look and found it, not quite the same problem. It wasThird Battle.
