If anyone has had any luck with any of these companies, could you please post it for the ones that cannot find one to work with you. We've almost lost once and just got a second chance that want last long so I need to get something done now, so if anyone knows the right number to call, i am sure a lot of people that hasn't found them would appreciate it but check out http://obamamortgage2009.blogspot.com or obamamortgage2009.blogspot.com

All of you need to call Will Ward, a Loan Officer from Envision Lending Group, at 801-208-2665. I have known him for years and he is honest as the day is long. There are other programs and options other then the pathetic "Making Home Affordable" program. For instance FHA actually is and always has been a fabulous loan option. NO! I am not Mr. Ward but I will attest to the fact if he can help he will be fair and honest. If he can't help he will tell you straight up and give you solid advice on how to position yourself for help in the future. Good Luck!

Don't give up the fight, even though sometimes you feel like it. Backing down on what you know is right would let them win, and you are much too strong for that. Use as many resources as you can. There are bright people who are helping you! Be persistent, be tough and keep on pushing forward. Even though it may be one little step at a time, eventually it will pay off.

I feel bad but... buy a home you can afford. My wife and I are both working college graduates making okay money and we did not buy our dream home for our first house. We are on our second home and again not our dream house. We hope someday to be living in a larger home but we did not go for the starter castle like is being built everywhere along the wasatch front. Utahns have one of the lowest average incomes in the nation and a fairly high price of homes. Utah also has one of the largest average home square footages in the nation. Yes we have larger families but do our kids friends need their own bedroom when they sleep over? Saratoga Springs is a great example of subdivision after subdivision of homes that everyone wants but not everyone can afford, but everyone bought.

This whole stimulus package is just part of the governments long term plan to take away the power of the people. Are we going to do something about it or be lazy and think someone else is going to do it for us? It is time for a revolution. We need to overthrow the government and take our power back. Before there is nothing we can do about it. you should check http://obamamortgage2009.blogspot.com/2009/03/obamas-mortgage-modification-do-you.html#comments

I own a condo and have an outstanding balance of $140k, consisting of $104k primary and $36k secondary. I took the home equity to consolidate debts. At the time the property was valued at $163k but now it is valued at $134k. I'm looking to sell because i am engaged and will be moving into my fiancee's home. Check http://obamamortgage2009.blogspot.com/2009/03/obamas-mortgage-modification-do-you.html If I have a buyer who offers me within say $5-7k of the outstanding, can i agree to assume a loan on the residual and pay the bank the difference over time with interest? The same bank holds both mortgages.

Thank You Federal Government! We should all be trilled that the people who decided to purchase or refinance their homes with a subprime mortgage have the oppurtunity to have the government save them. Our sanity has been stolen! When will we wake up and fight for it back?!

As a family in the same situation, I am very skeptical of the programs that are said to be offered by the Government. My mortgage server is Provident, and I am finding out that they will do nothing for us. I am also questioning the standards that have supposedly been set by the Govt. I wished that these standards were easily understood by the public. There are a lot of scammers out there that fgind out about your situation and they prey on us. They will get someone to sucker into their scam though. I hope that we can come through this. As well as others who are in the same boat. I would like to see an honest system work for the public, instead of a crooked political scheme at work!!!
