Not everyone who lost their house lost it because they broke their contract. In 33% of Foreclosures it was due to bank error.
That statistic has shown time and time again to be completely untrue. The original article you are thinking of stated that 1/3 homeowners in 2009 and 2010 thought a bank would restructure their mortgage and didn't end up doing so. That isn't fraud in any sense of the word. That is a person hoping a bank will let them get away without paying, and a bank not ending up doing so.
