YouTubeMortgage Relief Scams
Mortgage relief scams. Every time there is an economic crisis, the con men come out of the dark. “The secret the credit card companies don’t want you to know!” and so on. I am not writing much for this site these days, concentrating on my original bankruptcy site, and my new site on student loans….
Foreclosure Crisis Cure – Mortgage Paid By The State?
Above is not my idea! From frustrated left-wingers, I believe. I have been swamped with Chapter 11 cases, and have missed blogging. I hope to resume my regular pace, at least once a week. Jean Brachauer, a member of the NACBA board of directors, that is, National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, (of which I…

Foreclosure Crisis: Government Still Sides WIth The Crooks?
The foreclosure crisis has hit Michigan as hard as any state. Like my boat after a rainstorm, most Michigan homes with a mortgage are underwater, that is, worth less than what is owed on them. Uh, this is not newsworthy. Just today, spoke to a former client who is 64, yes, sixty four months behind…
Surprise: Michigan Mortgage Law Changes Again
Michigan’s foreclosure law changed dramatically a couple of years ago to encourage the evil bankers, uh, sorry, responsible mortgage companies to assist homeowners in keeping their homes. I have seen no statistical studies. Based on what I hear from Michigan bankruptcy and foreclosure clients, not many people actually get modifications out of this process. Like…
