The secondary market lenders for the HARP loans are limiting product they will accept to a maximum 105% LTV on loans that do not currently have mortgage insurance.  If you have MI now or are above 105% you'll have to deal with Wells Fargo.

You can go to any lender through either the Fannie Mae DU refi plus program OR Freddie Mac Relief Refinance program up to 125% LTV and infinite CLTV provided your current loan does not have PMI.

If the LTV is below 95% and you're paying PMI now, you may just want to do a regular refinance and get a new PMI policy as long as the PMI rate is similar.

If your loan does not have MI you can go elsewhere.  Wells is slow, but there are other places that can move quicker.   If you have MI, you are stuck with Wells.

Everyone is backed up on these. Got 10 million people all looking for a bailout and only a few Banks doing these loans. Going to be a nightmare wherever you could go.

Look into a refi, see if it saves you, close in 2-3 weeks.
