In the USA
October 6th, 2011 . by adminIn the USA foreclosures as they call them or repossessions as we call then in the UK mortgage market were running at an alarming rate and it looked like the worldwide financial crisis was going to bring even the worlds largest economies to their knees. The problem was blamed on mortgages being given to people who were a bad credit risk. Either because theyd had problems repaying loans and mortgages in the past or because the income they were earning was not enough to service the loan. Subprime mortgage lenders were turning a blind eye to past CCJs or loan defaults and taking on customers as fast as possible to grab market share in their greed for profits. Proof of income which is normally a lenders key decider when considering someone for a mortgages in the USA for Canadians was ignored and the massive numbers of people applying for self-certification was mushrooming out of all proportions.
