It's Time

IT’S TIME


IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP AND GET OUT OF BED.
CHAMPIONS SEEK TO FEED OTHERS, BUT LOSERS LOOK TO GET FED.

IT’S TIME TO STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH,
NEVER FOCUS ON WHAT YOU SEE ONLY ON WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO.

IT’S TIME TO LIVE BY EXAMPLE EACH AND EVERYDAY,
DOING THINGS RIGHT WILL BRING BLESSINGS YOUR WAY.

IT’S TIME TO LET GO OF THE PAST COURAGEOUSLY SHUTTING THE DOOR,
YOU CANNOT SEEK NEW OCEANS UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE SHORE.

IT’S TIME TO CHANGE ANYTHING THAT CONTINUES TO FAIL,
WISDOM TEACHES YOU TO ADAPT WHILE TRAVELING THE SUCCESSFUL TRAIL.

IT’S TIME TO SAY “I AM STRONG” NEVER LIVING TO BE WEAK,
MAKE SURE THAT IT IS TRUTH THAT YOU ARE STRIVING TO SEEK.

IT’S TIME TO FORGIVE STARTING WITH YOURSELF, “FREE YOUR MIND”,
YOU CAN NEVER BE GREAT CONTINUING TO BE BLIND.

IT’S TIME TO SAY I WILL MAKE IT NO MATTER THE PRICE,
KNOWING THAT OBEDIENCE IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN SACRIFICE.

16 Banks ordered to review foreclosure process

Update: 

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) at Treasury and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) at the Fed issued such orders to 16 banks.


The orders “require each servicer to engage an independent firm to conduct a multi-faceted review of foreclosure actions between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2010. This requirement includes a comprehensive ‘look back’ to assess whether foreclosures complied with federal and state laws, whether foreclosures occurred when grounds for foreclosure were not present, such as when loans were performing, and whether any errors, misrepresentations or other deficiencies resulted in financial injury to borrowers. The actions also require each servicer to establish a process for borrowers who believe they have been financially harmed by such deficiencies to make submissions to be considered for remediation. Each servicer must also submit a plan to remediate all financial injury to borrowers caused by any errors, misrepresentations, or other deficiencies identified in the independent consultant's findings.” (OCC press release: http://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2011/nr-occ-2011-47.html)

Sixty days from the April 13 issuance of these order (that is, by approximately June 15) the banks have to present their findings and their plans for remediating in cases of improper foreclosure.  When they present those findings and those plans, we will know how to advise and assist constituents who may qualify for remediation.

I have a direct contact with Congressman Hank Johnson's office and as soon as the process is released, I will post it here.  So check often for updates.
