From Realtor Magazine Online, Daily Real Estate News November 3, 2008
JPMorgan Chase & Co. on Friday announced a loan modification plan that will help as many as 400,000 customers avoid foreclosure.
JPMorgan, which has already modified about $40 billion in loans, will not put any loans into foreclosure as it expands its program over the next 90 days.
JP Morgan follows the lead of Bank of America, which has said that starting Dec. 1, it will modify an estimated 400,000 loans held by newly acquired Countrywide Financial Corp. The plan is driven by an $8.4 billion class action settlement.
"These are very large retail banks," said Dain Ehring, chief executive of Dorado Corp., a San Mateo, Calif.-based mortgage technology company. "There's a vested interest in keeping their customers."
