60 Minutes Segment on Mortgage Fraud - Unbelievable!!!

By
Real Estate Appraiser with North Country Appraisal Services

I received the following from an appraisal organization in Illinois.  One must stop and wonder, at what point will the lenders be held accountable?  The lenders claim they are not to be held accountable since they contracted the work out.  This is akin to a broker not being responsible for the actions of their agents.  The public needs to know this!!!

Richard,

  I agree that the lenders need to take responsibilty. If all of the foreclosures would go through, the market would crash but recover a lot faster. If the banks do not know who owns the note, this can not happen. It is crazy about all of the fraud that is still out there.
