Update - South Florida Foreclosure Crisis

• Hamp Mortgage Modification - Chapter 13 - new rules effective June 1, 2010, simplify the procedures to obtain a HAMP ("Obama Plan") mortgage modification during a chapter 13 case. In addition to modifying their first mortgages, many homeowners are also able to "avoid" (ie. discharge) their second mortgage as part of the chapter 13 plan as being wholly "underwater". The new HAMP rules generally provide that:

• Homeowners in chapter 13 are required to be considered for HAMP upon request.

• Mortgage servicers must cooperate with homeowners to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval.
  

• Mortgage servicer may waive trial period mortgage modification and provide permanent mortgage modification.
  
• Ability to seek reconsideration of HAMP modification denial.
