The insurance companies aren't going to insure them now, because of liability issues. That foreclosed house you bought? It might still belong to the other guy... or at least, be caught up in litigation hell forever.
P.S. I hate GMAC. I bought a house years ago and the loan was sold to GMAC. The first months payment was sent to the original loan folks - forget who they were- who then sold the loan...and kept the payment.
GMAC hounded me for 6 months, threatened to destroy my credit, called me during dinner, stressed the hell out of my wife, and really didn't seem to care that I had made the payment to someone else. I sent a copy of the check - twice - to their collection agency - and it didnt stop. Then I got a name of a boss, sent them a certified letter and a copy of the cashed check and told them i would sue the ever living hell out of them if they contacted me again about it. Then it stopped.
It's too bad though.; GMAC is a bank now. It can't be allowed to fail.
Can you imagine having a business where no one wanted to buy your goods or services, and it didn't matter? Because you can't be allowed to go under? That's awesome.
Allows states to recognize notarizations from other states via electronic means.
Bill passed both House and Senate with NO debate and is sitting on Obama's desk.
These banks will not get in trouble and will be able to continue to foreclose on homes they don't own. Just wait and see. WE, the people, do not run the government.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it is not gonna be the banks or big lenders than get screwed on this deal. (or any deal where their lobby and political buddies can bail them out)

He who has the money gets to make the rules.
(And if the rule isn't on the books..a quick call to DC will get a bill passed pronto)
Yup. Exactly. Remember two things. 1) the dollar trumps principle every time. And 2) when GMAC screws someone over, it gets chalked up to "mistakes were made" and we move on because the Greater Good is much more important than the Pootywinkle family from Little Pinto, UT. Conversely, if you default on your bills, you have a moral obligation to pay back every cent owed including interest-up to and including selling your children into a Korean child trafficking ring or your mother to prison (so as to get those free license plates, which would free up more of your money to pay back the Big Banks.).
Remember. You need Wall Street. Wall street doesn't need you.
President Barack Obama won't sign into law an overlooked piece of legislation that critics say would make it easier for banks and others to process foreclosure proceedings without human signatures, a person familiar with the matter said.
Obama hasn't yet issued a veto during his presidency. In this instance, he will send the bill back to Congress using a process known as a "pocket veto."
His decision comes amid growing complaints from lawmakers that the administration and regulators haven't done enough to intervene in a scandal tied to thousands of foreclosures that critics argue were processed with improper documentation.

And look what's happening...Obama made a good move in not signing HR3808.
We need more of actions like this to stop the financial corruption going on in America.
Notice the word "crisis" ?
