State attorneys general and bank commissioners have initiated an effort to monitor the top 20 subprime mortgage servicers to ensure that borrowers get the loan modifications they need."We feel this is a serious effort to avert a foreclosure avalanche that we potentially face," Iowa AG Tom Miller told MortgageWire. A working group of 11 AGs and three bank commissioners recently met with the top 10 subprime servicers in Chicago to discuss loan modifications. The working group expects the servicers to provide regular reports on their loss mitigation efforts. The state officials also expect to have contact with the servicers on a weekly or even daily basis.
