House Passes Mortgage Bankruptcy Bill

The U.S. House approved legislation on Thursday that will allow bankruptcy judges to lengthen terms, cut interest rates and reduce the principal owed by bankrupt borrowers.

The so-called "cramdown" bill (the actual name of the bill is the "Helping Families Save Their Home Act") passed by a margin of 234-191. The legislation was modified to become more lender friendly; it requires borrowers to certify that they provided their lenders with financial information and gave them time to provide other alternatives.
