Dear Mr. President:
On behalf of Ocwen Financial Corporation, I applaud you, Secretaries Geithner and Donovan, and your economic team on the adoption of the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan and particularly its inclusion of a sweeping loan modification program to assist homeowners with unaffordable mortgages and prevent avoidable foreclosures. We share your view that loan modifications are the key for a lasting solution to the daunting foreclosure crisis – a crisis that lies at the very heart of our nation’s economic problems and threatens millions of families with the loss of their American Dream – their home.
We fully support your new Plan and will work hard to help make it a success.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sincerely yours, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
