'via Blog this'BOSTON/State House - Two dozen activists from the Mass. Alliance Against Predatory Lending and allied organizations held a press conference in support of a bill to "Prevent Unlawful and Unnecessary Foreclosures" at the State House on Tuesday. The bill, House 4096/Senate 2298, was intended to strengthen 2010 state legislation that provided banks with incentives to meet with threatened homeowners to prevent foreclosure. Since that time, activists say that banks have chosen to ignore those incentives and wait a while longer to foreclose on homes whose owners can no longer make their mortgage payments - often due to much-criticized predatory loan terms.
