 In addition, the Government warns homeowners to beware of foreclosure rescue scams:

 – There should never be a fee charged for information or assistance regarding the Making Home Affordable Program.

 – Beware of anyone who says they can "save" your home if you sign or transfer over the deed to your home. Do not sign over the deed to your property to any organization or individual unless you are working directly with your mortgage company to forgive your debt.

 – Never make your mortgage payment to anyone other than your mortgage company without their approval.

  1. In 2004, Republicans held an oversight hearing on Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac. They warned us about this crisis back then, but Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, and other Democrats charged racism. Franklin Raines, the disgraced thief Democrat CEO of Fannie Mae, insisted the loans were “riskless”.” There’s plenty of video out there on this showing this fact.
