Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company Hotline Information for Borrowers
NEW UPDATE 9/10/09: Today's update is an edited, condensed transcript of my conversation with BOA spokesperson Rick Simon. Cenlar is a legitimate loan servicing company and Roundpoint is NOT A SCAM. The situation is confusing, but not fake. 9/01/09 Yesterday, we reported that Bank of America taking over servicing rights for FHA loans and Ginnie Mae loans previously held by Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company.Earlier this month, Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company, which is owned by Colonial BancGroup shut its doors. Dozens of Taylor Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Company borrowers called the Clark Howard Show and Ilyce Glink Show to ask what they should do. Should they pay their old loans or new loans? How could they find out if their loans funded? The FDIC and Federal Reserve Bank have set up customer hotlines you can call to get information.

Home Equity Disappearing on Today's Clark Howard Show - August 6, 2009
Filling in for Clark Howard, Ilyce talked about the Deutsche Bank study that says 48 percent of homeowners could be underwater with their mortgage (owe more than the house is worth) by 2011, up from 26 percent now. But another study says home prices rose 5 percent in the last quarter. We'll discuss what's really going on. There's a new study out that says women want to shop and are tired of living the frugal life. Is that true? How do you feel about that? Mortgage rates fell to 5.22 percent (30-year fixed) for the first time in 3 weeks. Jobless claims fell to 550,000 last month, with continuing claims to 6.3 million. Are people falling off the unemployment rolls? FREE BOOK and EBOOK deals and a SPECIAL CLARK HOWARD DISCOUNT for the HOW TO PROFIT FROM FORECLOSURE EVENT.

Nigerian Email Scam Targeting Rental Properties
On paper it seems so obvious. Of course you wouldn't get sucked in by a scam artists promising you super low rates in exchange for wiring a few months rent ahead of time (the catch being the apartment doesn't exist, and the landlord disappears before you figure out the scheme.)
However, a good friend…
