  13. HAMP: CRC Critique • Poor performance – 200,000 permanent mods • Not mandatory • Pays servicers to do what they should do • Principal reductions not a part, but.. • Not much help for unemployed, but… • Little transparency – npv test, denials, but… • No meaningful way to appeal, but… • Race data collected, not public, but… • No enforcement, accountability, (no but)

  14. Bankruptcy Cramdown: Judicial Modification • Could have helped 600,000 borrowers directly • Would give borrowers leverage • Passed the House, Killed in Senate • Senator Durbin – • the bankers “frankly own the place (Congress)” • Where was the President? (in his platform)

  15. CFPA • Agency to protect consumers • No regulatory race to the bottom – Ex. OTS • Strong proposal by President • Strong opposition from industry • Key issues • Rule making and enforcement authority • Where does it reside? • Exemptions

  16. Community Reinvestment Act Modernization • CRA is the one law that works! • Paying More for the American Dream III study • CRA lenders more likely to make prime loans • But CRA needs to be strengthened • Include race, not just income • Include all areas where loans are made. Ex: CW • Report data on which banks are helping • Cover mortgage, insurance, Wall Street firms • Don’t dilute public input!
