Consider this,... one of the criteria to qualify for the rate freeze is to not have been 30 days late since the current loan has been in place. There were so many good 100% financing programs available 2 years ago that good borrowers did not have to get subprime loans for these purchases. I would speculate that 75% (or more) of the subprime loans originated 2 years ago were for legitimate subprime borrowers who had sub 600 FICO scores. I would venture to guess that well over half of these people have been late on their mortgage in the last 18 months.
This means that of all the subprime loans that are "targeted" for this interest rate relief - over 50% of them will not qualify due to their mortgage history.
