Mortgage bankers urge called up servicemen to contact lenders
Washington AP The Mortgage Bankers Association asks military reservists and National Guard members on active duty to inform their lenders and seek lower rates under a new government policy. They should provide the order and ID to speed paperwork. The Sept 24 relief act set rates to 6 percent for one year and protects against foreclosures and evictions. About 25,000 guard and reserve members in 44 states plus DC and Puerto Rico have been called to active duty since last month’s attacks. The government also encourages lenders to postpone principal payments during service.
