Two classes of WMC Mortgage Loan pass-through certificates, series 1997-1, have been downgraded by Fitch Ratings.Class M-2 was downgraded from A-plus to A-minus, and class B was downgraded from BB to CCC. The rating agency also affirmed the ratings on 15 classes in five WMC residential mortgage-backed securitizations. The downgrades resulted from the poor performance of the underlying collateral, whose high level of losses has led to the depletion of overcollateralization, Fitch said.
