Even though the bill was supported by EVERYONE but the banking lobby, it was rejected 36-30 in the Assembly. Even after it was approved by the state Senate and three Assembly committees. This time… no… but thank you for playing. Nice job, you spineless, worthless, glad-handing, sycophants. Way to throw your constituents under the bus.

Debt is a status symbol… debt is a sign of success… debt is cool… you should want as much debt as you can get… being approved for more debt means you’ve made it. I want to be a gold debtor… I want to be a platinum debtor… how about a silver card? Can I be a titanium debtor? I’d like to see something in a palladium card. Why not become an emerald debtor, or perhaps a sapphire debtor? I want the Purple Card… can I have the purple card, please? Wait… I love to Discover! I want to be a “Member”. I want privileges.

Ms. Warren should unquestionably be asked to head up this new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, bribed, begged and/or pleaded with, if need be. Without her philosophy and leadership setting the standards and tone of this new bureau as it is established, it should simply be disbanded… we don’t need another federal bureau to let the banks do whatever they’d like to the American consumer. We already have every other federal agency and regulatory body for that.

There’s no point in sugarcoating this… getting a bank or mortgage servicer to agree to modify a mortgage is never a pleasant experience. In fact, it’s pretty much horrible, even when it’s good. You may finish the process with a permanent loan modification, but it’s unlikely that you’ll feel much like celebrating.

A homeowner wrote to me the other day, and I could tell from her emails that she had been through the ringer trying to get a loan modification. I’ve heard from so many thousands of homeowners that I’ve gotten to the point that I could probably guess their lender or servicer just from the tone of their email or voice. This one, however, kept notes of her journey into The Loan Modification Zone, and I couldn’t help but share them… you’ll see why.

As my readers know, I’ve never had guest columnists or posted what others have written, but when I read the article that follows, which was written by Max on June 1st of this year, and then found myself reading sections of it to several people while we were talking on the phone, well… I knew I had to post it.

If the government guarantee was waived in whole or in part, which I am sure is the case, then the rationale for non-dischargeability disappears. So I am suggesting that the assumption that the student loan is non-dischargeable should be challenged based upon the individual facts of your student loan. If it was securitized and it [...]

Editor’s Note: Put simply this crisis will still be ongoing in 20 years. When you add the student loans that were securitized and which were “non-dischargable” in bankruptcy because of the government guarantee of the “risk” (which never existed because the risk was sold before the loan was ever funded, hence the guarantee should not [...]
