Wells Fargo…shame on you… Foreclosure is a serious process and WF treats it like an assembly line…with Robo signers!

wells fargo: Wells Fargo Vice President Gets the Boot for being a Glutenous Pig! - 09/14/09 12:33 PM

It appears that the previous owners (Madoff Victims) who surrendered the property in lieu of a large amount of monies owed to Wells Fargo for outstanding debt, had a few friends in the enclave that were concerned about the activities and goings on at the exclusive address...ya … (3 comments)

wells fargo: California Foreclosure "Shadow Inventory" between 80,000 & 100,000 Homes. Can It Get Any Worse? - 04/09/09 06:26 AM
Shadow inventory is the number of foreclosed homes not currently on the market.
What this means is that when this foreclosed inventory is unleashed, prices will be pushed down much further than projections estimated. Current estimates are a continued drop of 10 to 30% through December 2010.
RealtyTrac compared these figures to it's current inventory which only reflect 30% of foreclosures were listed.*
Also, there are many foreclosure moratoriums that are simply hedging the inevitable foreclosure. (CA SB1137 is one) These homes have not been reported, but they could be double the current projections.
What does this mean?
Continued steep drops … (3 comments)
