Hi Moe,
I read somewhere that part of the bill exempts servicers from being sued by investors because of a modification. If this is true, wouldn't this potentially lead to increased modifications or principal reductions? I'll find a link if needed.
Also, on the participation front, I read this internal Bank of America document a while back -
http://www2.nationalreview.com/dest/2008/06/20/bofa.pdf.
It essentially is very supportive of the bill. It seems like they are in favor of the bill, but if nobody participates then I think the next bill that goes through congress won't be so "voluntary".
Thanks again,
