When The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan was announced in February, one of the big sound bites of the moment was the President’s “If you must pay, then walk away” remark referring to paying fees up front to get a loan alteration completed. With the much slower than anticipated rollout of the plan, he might be rethinking those words and, while he’s's at it, the way the plan was instituted.

The style over substance decision and follow up after the announcement left owners, lenders, and services to rule themselves re finding out about and integrating the guidelines of the plan. The ensuing crush after the announcement swamped lenders and servicers with both applications and requests for info on the way the plan worked. The plan had set an initial objective of helping four million struggling house owners with their mortgages and it looked like every one of them, left to figure it out on their own, were calling right now.

Another mistake made by the administration was its nave positioning that householders could modify their mortgages on their own. These were the same folks that didn’t understand the conditions of their stated income, negative amortization loans in the first place. How the administration figured that they could all of a sudden barter the fine print of their own mortgages is beyond reason.

Had they not went out a new program intended on helping millions of desperate people facing foreclosure, the plan might have been rolled out in a fashion that provided education up front instead grand announcements and sound bites.

What homeowners were learning on their own was that attempting to do a loan modification without representation is a grinding, repeated, and frustrating process where any sense of pressure on the lenders’ side was totally absent. In another mis-calculation the process was represented to home owners as a easy process that needed some documents, a couple of phone calls, and presto, an altered loan. And there’s your “catch 22″ ; only by being unemployed can the borrower see the alteration through to its finish, but being unwaged means the borrower won’t have the income to make the payment on the modified loan and, as a consequence won’t get authorized for the modification.
