Don't miss this transcript of a radio interview with Bob Diamond, real estate attorney and developer, about the realities of loan modifications -- namely, how to make a request that the overburdened lender will actually pay attention to, and why it's truly in both the borrower's and lender's best interests to work out a modification rather than descend into foreclosure.
Be prepared for some bursts of rage, however, as you read about lenders' slippery tactics for avoiding dealing with consumers -- like Bank of America's continuing to have a working fax line for submissions, while not telling people that it essentially tosses the faxes without looking at them or recording them in its system. Good grief.
