Many banks are already partially owned by the government, for example the government owns 35% of Citibank to name one.

How Do I Save My Home From A Foreclosure?

Many homeowners are just not able to make their monthly payments and are receiving foreclosures notices left and right. They do everything they can from calling their bank, borrowing money from friends and family, taking it out of credit cards and then finally taking out of their retirement. They make the endless calls to their lender with no help just trying to get a loan modification and getting no help. When their banks aren’t responding and usually don’t they pick up the phone and call a loan modification attorney to help them save their home. This is their last resort in hopes of qualifying for Making Home Affordable, HAMP, or just any loan modification program that is available to get them into a more affordable mortgage payment.

Data from June 2009 shows that more than 24% of homeowners owe more then what their home is worth.

Making Home Affordable Plan

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

President Obama’s administration’s $75 billion plan to refinance and modify millions of mortgages, announced back in March, is a portion of the much larger Tarp II plan. If you are a homeowner in trouble of losing your home to foreclosure, or a homeowner that has not missed a payment, but would like to refinance to a lower interest rate, you have hopefully already started calling your lender and asking for a loan modification or have contacted an Attorney based firm to handle the situation for you with the bank. The money used for this program comes from the $700 billion approved as part of Tarp I in late 2008.
