Volcker Unleashes Volley By Larry Doyle|Sep 24, 2009, 1:00 PM I find it interesting, but not surprising, that former Fed Chair Paul Volcker’s testimony to Congress this morning has received little to no coverage by major media outlets.

So, the banks are told to re write first mortgages, and write off home equity loans and second trust deeds. It sounds like they are doing that, unless the servicier is also the provider of the second (the 4 largest servicers are BofA, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and Citi)…..in which case they ask (demand) the homeowner to acept new terms on the home equity and second trust deeds or they won’t rewrite the first morgages. This then allows the servicing bank to show the home equity and seconds as performing loans and they then don’t have to show the write off on their books…. Thieve’in Banks…….Thats what we have here.
