People typically undergo a couple of years of planning before they finally jump into major decisions such as applying for a home loan—especially if they are not really that well-off. However, some people do have a feasible loan plan at hand but cannot go straight to the lender’s office after viewing their credit score for that particular period.
Low scores are not exclusive to people with delinquent and unpaid payment, even good payers experience this—particularly if their credit lines are always maxed out. But why should the home loan plan get stopped just because of a low score? The lenders are already coming up with new lending policies to accommodate good payers with a lower then prime score, so there is still a chance to get the loan that is badly needed.
Consider getting a bad credit loan from a lender. There are usually a couple of different loan plans that applicants can choose from.
On June 23, 2011, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that has sent waves through bankruptcy courts across the nation. Stern v. Marshall, 131 S.Ct. 2594 (2011), is the latest opinion in a long running dispute between the estate of Vickie Lynn Marshall, better known as Anna Nicole Smith, and the estate of her late husband’s son, Pierce Marshall.

I just read an article that President Obama is considering another refinance plan for federally insured mortgages as one solution to the mortgage crisis. Unfortunately it will not address the real problem of underwater properties throughout the country and any program administered thru banks will have so many requirements and government mandates like the failed HAMP program it will not solve the crisis. The NACBA proposed Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Principal Pay Down Plan is a real solution that President Obama can implement for these Federally insured mortgages without an act of Congress and will unleash an untapped resource so far the talented and devoted Chapter 13 bankruptcy attorneys in this country to devise plans for homeowners that will save their homes by reducing the principal balances of their loans, removing fully unsecured second mortgages and other liens on their homes and eliminating or reducing unsecured debt.

The Law is on Your Side
Many consumers have the mistaken idea that credit bureaus are federally supported organizations backed by a vast array of laws meant to protect creditors. Nothing could be further from the truth. Aside from the government simply recognizing the need for credit reporting, credit bureaus have absolutely nothing to do with the government. Credit bureaus are simply huge bureaucratic companies which exist for the soul purpose of making money by selling information about you-information they never bothered to verify.
Because of the vast potential for error in the credit reporting system, the United States Congress has enacted laws to protect the consumer from being victimized by the credit bureaus. It is your right and responsibility to make use of these laws.
The Law versus Practical Reality
As the credit bureaus computerized their processes and greatly expanded their reach and influence in the late 1960s and early 1970s, consumer complaints began to mount at the FTC and state attorney general offices.
