FED BANS YIELD SPREAD PREMIUMS

FED BANS YIELD SPREAD PREMIUMS

A YIELD SPREAD PREMIUM IS A FEE PAID TO A BROKER FOR CREATING A FRAUDULENT PROFIT BY LYING TO THE CUSTOMER WHO BUYS A FINANCIAL PRODUCT. This particular lie would be about the rate on the loan. One would think this was already illegal and one would be right. Not only is it specified in [...]

Countrywide settlement pays fraction to investors – Shell Game Continues

Countrywide settlement pays fraction to investors – Shell Game Continues

EDITOR’S NOTE: The shell game continues. While the media picks up stories about “settlements” giving rise to the presumption that Countrywide Home Loans and Bank of America and the rest of the securitization players committed various violations of statutes, duties, rules and regulations, the main point gets lost. Where is this money going and WHY? [...]

The Federal Reserve Made a Record $47.4 Billion HELPING Housing Market in 2009?

The Federal Reserve Made a Record $47.4 Billion HELPING Housing Market in 2009?

The Federal Reserve, by the way, doesn’t exist to make a profit like the commercial banks. Until 2009, the Fed paid no interest on the bank reserves and other monies it holds, and it earns interest on the Treasury securities it holds. According to the story in the Times, the “Fed’s profitability increased as an incidental result of the financial turmoil that began in 2007.”

Demonstrations in the Street

Demonstrations in the Street

I’ve always been puzzled by the lack of action and reaction of the public to the mortgage crisis. As I write this, it gets worse, more people lose their homes, more homes are beset by adversary relations between family members, more alcohol abuse, more spousal abuse, more child abuse, more anxiety, depression, divorce and grief.

Federal Agencies Becoming More Helpful: Give them a Call, Give them a Push

Federal Agencies Becoming More Helpful: Give them a Call, Give them a Push

Now is the time for us to make sure they get a copy of your qualified written request. And the [...]

I Guess Nobody Wants to Read Bad News: Fed Chair Ben Bernanke’s Testimony to Congress

I Guess Nobody Wants to Read Bad News: Fed Chair Ben Bernanke’s Testimony to Congress

People… we have to stop the foreclosures. They breed more foreclosures. They reduce spending and lower tax receipts. They cause increased unemployment. They cause more bonds to default. They make our banks insolvent. They are a “HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF OUR BOAT. It doesn’t matter what else we do… as long as we allow the foreclosures to continue unchecked… we are doomed to a future that none of us would want for our children.

Credit Card Companies geting tougher? FIGHT BACK with securitization defenses!

Credit Card Companies geting tougher? FIGHT BACK with securitization defenses!

See the thing about the arrogance of these non-bank and bank financial institutions is they are rushing to get under the wire before the truth is revealed: they are not the creditor and they never were. Send your debt validation letters and don’t let them sue without filing a motion to dismiss the same as [...]

Do NOT Prepay Your Mortgage

As pointed out in the article below there are many good reasons for prepaying your mortgage on a monthly basis. But if you are in a securitized mortgage and you are either underwater or facing payments that are resetting, be aware that any prepayments will take you far out of the running for any modification.
