clipped from online.wsj.comSome struggling homeowners are turning to the courts in a bid to force mortgage servicers to consider them for the Obama administration's foreclosure-rescue program, arguing they are eligible for help but haven't received it.
The suits are the latest sign of difficulties some borrowers are having with the program, which has helped more than 500,000 people begin trial loan modifications since it was announced in February.
The program requires mortgage servicers to screen borrowers for eligibility for modifications before completing a foreclosure. But a growing number of borrowers say this isn't happening, or that their requests for help are improperly rejected by the servicers, which collect loan payments and work with delinquent borrowers.
