Legislating Lower Foreclosure Rates?
Also below is a heat map RealtyTrac created of the Chicago area based on the number of total foreclosure filings (defaults, sales and REOs) in September. One such law is Illinois Senate Bill 2349 , which passed back in June and is scheduled to become effective January 1, 2007. The ways it does that is it: Limits the amount so-called mortgage rescuers can make to 125 percent of the total debt on the home if the homeowner buys An Illinois law intended to help reduce foreclosures is drawing cries of discrimination from some of the people it is trying to protect, according to the Chicago Defender newspaper. “Nearly 60 days after Illinois House Bill 4050 went into effect to supposedly protect consumers from predatory lenders, a coalition of Black and Latino city residents say the new law is actually destroying property values in select minority communities.” The law is a pilot program that is being applied in 10 Chicago zip codes chosen for their high foreclosure rates, among other factors.

A loan with four payment options may seem fairly understandable, but in the real world a lot of borrowers did not take out option ARMs because they wanted to make fully-amortizing payments.
