More and more people are becoming victims of predatory lending now that financing is becoming increasingly harder to get. A large number of Americans without even realizing it have become trapped in predatory loans because lenders such as Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase have approved home loans that they know the borrower will not be able to keep up the monthly payments for. These predatory lending tactics have afflicted homeowners with higher than normal interest rates and hidden fees.
A lot of people don’t think there is anything they can do even once they realize that they have been the victim of predatory lending practices. The banks go along with this and convince people that the only options are to refinance (which has been incredibly hard for a lot of people to be approved for), sell their home or be foreclosed on. There is hope though, in the form of forensic document reviews.
A staggering statistic is the sad fact that over 80% of mortgage loans currently have multiple levels of violations at both the state and federal levels. High interest rates, excessive fees as well as incomplete loan applications and incorrect dates are all examples of the violations that forensic document reviews can find. Once these violations have been identified, you have hard evidence that you were the victim of a predatory loan. If you are working with a qualified loan modification attorney while trying to obtain a loan modification, the evidence that forensic document reviews, such as forensic loan audits and securitization audits provide, can make negotiating with your bank for a loan modification with a lower interest rate much easier.
Another benefit of having forensic document reviews performed on your mortgage is they will make sure that your home loan is in compliance with all state and federal predatory lending laws such as TILA, RESPA, FHA, HDMA and ECOA. You can also discover if your home loan has been securitized and securitized correctly with a forensic document review that is called a securitization audit. The large majority of home loans that have been approved over the last decade have gone through this securitization process, which means the loan can be sold and traded by the banks like a stock or bond is. If this has been done correctly, there are no problems. If it is done incorrectly, that means the bank that you originally had your loan with quite possibly no longer holds the title to your property. A securitization audit proves absolutely that there has been wrongdoing on the part of a predatory lender.
