(As they say in Rome: "So many a-foreclosures, so a-little-a time-a.") Charles Delbau, an attorney for the National Consumer Law Center was quoted in The Washington Post Friday morning saying the revelations abut GMAC and other firms have "the potential to be very important for borrowers facing foreclosure." Ya think?
