Can a T-Shirt prevent foreclosures?
This comes straight from the May 24th edition of The New York Times - Think a T-Shirt Can’t Change Your Life? A Skeptic Thinks Again
“As soon as I put this shirt on the Bank called to apologize about trying to foreclose on my home.”

They sure want you to think that the T-shirt prevented that individuals foreclosure don't they? You and I both know that it takes more than "a call of the wild" to prevent a foreclosure in this market.
It might have been more believable if the individual had walked into the bank/servicer wearing the shirt but that was not the case. They simply got up one day, like they do everyday, happened to put on that particular shirt and the phone rung. On the other end of the line was the bank apologizing for trying to foreclose on their home. Personally, I would like to know the complete story behind that individuals near foreclosure experience. It is great to kow that they did not have to experience foreclosure like so many other homeowners around them.
Thanks for sharing this Debbie. I think I will pass this along and share it with others at Frontier.

Thanks Vince. At this time, I know non-profits do not have access to RD's loan origination software, UniFi. I'm not sure how much we've discussed the issues of access to CAIVRS in the 502 course.
