Mortgages

Mortgage Modification Bill Rejected

Written by Alethia Scipione

On April 30, 2009, the US Senate voted against Senate Bill 61. The bill proposed to allow judges the flexibility to modify mortgages for families going through a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. The bill flew through the House with plenty of momentum, but that momentum failed to carry it through the Senate where it stood at a stand still for months and was finally rejected last Thursday.
