I am underwater about $100,000. My 1st is with PNC which is not one of the banks in the settlement but I also have a HELOC with Chase for $52,500. I was just wondering if anyone has heard if 2nd mortgages will be a part of the principal reduction relief. Thanks!

It appears OK did not join to make it 50 states but did reach their own agreement with the same 5 lenders for about the same amount of money they would have received in the Nat'l agreement.

OK, checked the state list; it is Oklahoma that is excluded from the settlement.

If this takes up to three years to implement, then we can probably expect home prices to remain down for those three years while underwater homeowners short sale and distresses one's still get foreclosed.

Ok, which of the 50 states did not sign up?  It looks like one is missing?  I see a list of 50, but that includes District of Columbia.

3 years to get into compliance?

Hurry up!!! Foreclose on everything possible before 1,000 days pass.

Isn't that the real message here? I mean besides saying those who paid on time were foolish?

"Servicers expect to begin reaching out to borrowers in the coming weeks, but they have three years to provide the required help."

Great links! The above quote from the first wsj link caught my eye. What do they expect the underwater owners to do for three years? Are they just hoping that people get so squeezed or tired of waiting in limbo that they just walk so the lenders benefit?
