Surprisingly this year I have heard too many people who want desperately to keep their homes say that when they try to work out a refinance with the banks the banks have been giving them the run around. I caught this article on MSNBC and thought it would be a good direction for a few of you out there to explore.

The associated press ran an article stating that several lawmakers whose districts are drowning in foreclosures are taking unprecedented steps to help people stay in their homes, including picking up the phone themselves to negotiate with banks on behalf of their constituents.

If you or someone you know is experiencing some really tough times get on the phone and call your elected officials today....you never know what could happen.
