More Funds for Bank Owned Foreclosures Prevention Program

<h1>More Funds for Bank Owned Foreclosures Prevention Program</h1>Author: <a title="JosephSmith Jr." href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/josephsmith-jr./167477.htm">JosephSmith Jr.</a> The loan modification program for Bank Owned Foreclosures containment will get another boost from the Treasury Department. The department has announced that it will provide an additional $3.1 billion to mortgage servicing companies to encourage them to modify loans. The funding will serve as incentives to mortgage servicers to push them to modify loans in order to contain the flood of foreclosure properties in the country. According to the Treasury, the additional funding for loan modifications will drive the total cost of the Bank Owned Foreclosures prevention program from $15.2 billion to $18.3 billion. The department added one mortgage servicer, Residential Credit Solutions based in Fort Worth, Texas, to its list of recipients. The mortgage servicer will receive as much as $19.4 million to help it modify loans. So far, the program has 15 mortgage company participants. Meanwhile, Bank of America Corp.’s unit, Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP has received a huge adjustment on its funding allocation. The mortgage servicer is slated to receive a raise of $3.3 billion, for a total of $5. 2 billion. Meg Reilly of the Treasury Department said that the original estimates given to mortgage servicers were based on information available to the public. She claimed that calculation for the revised estimates was based on accurate data provided by mortgage servicers. Additionally, future adjustments in funding allocations made to mortgage servicers will be done on quarterly basis, Reilly said. Last March, the Obama Administration announced the availability of $50 billion to fund the government’s campaign to abate the number of Bank Owned Foreclosures in the country. The money, part of the $700 billion financial recovery fund, will be used as incentives to encourage the mortgage industry to alter troubled loans by reducing monthly payments. However, many industry experts still doubt whether the foreclosure prevention program would be effective in eradicating the foreclosure problem in the country. The main question by industry experts is how much and how far the mortgage industry is willing to cooperate to make the program a success. So far, over 32,000 troubled homeowners were enrolled in the 90-day trial loan modifications under the Bank Owned Foreclosures prevention program, according to the Treasury Department.
