I agree 100%, this is exactly what happened to me. Not making excuses, it was just a matter of lacking experience in dealing with these kinds of things..

I think the predatory lenders should be hung out to dry, even the borderline ones. I think the homeowners who were duped by predatory lenders should be offered a shot at a fixed rate that they can manage OR be allowed to hand the house over to the predators and walk away without yet another hit to their credit status.
Agree again, the problem is a lot of the predator lendors are going out of business at blazing speeds. Bankruptcy protects them, but leaves their victims holding the bag.....

All that being said...the greedy folks who got normal (non-predatory) loans and waaaaaay overextended themselves, live off of credit cards, and generally show poor skills at managing their money...tough, live and learn.
Wow 3 in a row!!!
