		<description>They bailed out wall street but kicked homeowners to the curb with no place to live.

I am trapped in an interest only loan with America&#039;s Servicing Company who obstinately won&#039;t even send me the paperwork. If you are behind on payments they foreclose even IF they agree to a loan modification. They are unprofessional and unscrupulous. The government is doing NOTHING BUT....

They bailed out wall street and kicked homeowners to the curb with no place to live. They are taxing the middle class to death. We have been abandoned.

It is obvious this administration will do ANYTHING to help big business but will not help hard working Americans who want to stay in their homes and make their payments. For one thing the 31% of gross rule is absurd. For those in trouble, especially singles, payments may already be at 31%. This is the case for me. But the catch is I&#039;m single so I get taxed to the max eroding my gross salary. MY PAYMENT IS 55% OF MY NET but they don&#039;t take that into consideration.

The servicing companies get kickbacks for loan mods. The banks get bailed out. The TARP benefited everyone but the homeowner. President Obama has let us down and now he wants us to pay for healthcare.I would consider it as a good idea but with facing homelessnes how can I consider a new tax boondoggle? 

Obama could have used TARP funds to bailout homeowners but stiff armed us away with complicated rules and regulations that no one can qualify for. And, now I read this article about the FICO score ding for a loan mod. I&#039;m crying my eyes out. I&#039;m too old to start over and the stress is killing me. 

I started a blog to collect stories to print out and mail to Obama. I figure with a big pile, he would pay attention.
