On May 9, 2012 we blogged about the importance in extending the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007. To read that blog, click here.
On November 20, 2012, the National Association of Attorneys General joined the cause by writing this letter to the Congressional Leadership of our Federal Government.
Additionally, the Real Property Committee of the Suffolk County Bar Association also drafted a similar letter to our local leadership in the region.
Its imperative that this act is extended to protect those vulnerable community members who have underwater homes. Additionally, there are many secondary and tertiary effects on our local economy that will be realized if this act is not extended.
Please contact your representative and stress why this Act should be extended.
