Introduced
by
To mandate that before initiating “foreclosure by advertisement” proceedings, a mortgage lender or servicer must send a notice to the borrower, and if the borrower chooses to try to renegotiate the loan, or is unsuccessful in doing so but meets the criteria for a renegotiation under an FDIC "workout" program, prohibit the lender for proceeding with the foreclosure by advertisement for 90 days. If a borrower were eligible for a for an FDIC "workout," he or she could force a lender unwilling to go that route to undertake judicial foreclosure proceedings, which are more costly and time consuming than foreclosure-by-advertisement.

Passed in the House 93 to 15 (details)
To adopt a compromise version of the bill reported by a House-Senate conference committee. This would mandate that before initiating “foreclosure by advertisement” proceedings, a mortgage lender must give a delinquent borrower 90 days to negotiate a revision of the loan terms. If the borrower's debt service exceeds 38 percent of his or her gross income, the lender would be prohibited from proceeding with the foreclosure by advertisement unless the lender agreed to a "cram-down" revision of the loan bringing the debt service down to that level. (If the institution holding the loan had accepted federal "bail-out" money the loan revision would be on terms dictated by federal regulations.) However, a lender unwilling to accept revision of the loan terms could still undertake judicial foreclosure proceedings, which are more costly and time consuming than foreclosure-by-advertisement.
