Call Senator Carper’s office at 202-224-2441 and tell him you’re disappointed in his vote against the mortgage modification legislation. And just so you are clear about this — bankruptcy judges can adjust the interest rates and other aspects of a mortgage for second or third houses and even boats. Just not for the person with just one house who may need the help of offically acknowledging that their houses are worth much less than the contract or in just reducing an interest rate. Ask Senator Carper why folks who can afford multiple homes can take advantage of this, while people with just one cannot.
Let us know if you called andwhat the response was. Be polite, but firm.
