Why hasn’t the government jumped in to help people in foreclosure because of predatory lenders?

I am in foreclosure in Maine because a lender set me up for a payment I could not legitimately afford, and am losing my family home that I have owned for 20 years, and my grandfather owned for 20 years before that. My mortgage is $2,012 per month ($2,600 offered in a “work-out”) and my monthly take-home pay is $2300. Go figure. AND they charged me $19,000 in closing costs!!! I have just been told that 7 out of 10 homes in Maine are in foreclosure because of this same scenario. This is a MAJOR crisis and the only people out there to get help from are other predatory lenders willing to do the same thing to me to help “save my house” – it continues to go on. I have worked full-time all my life, always paid my taxes, am a law-abiding citizen, and yet, I can find no state or federal programs that I am “eligible” for because I “make too much money ($38,000 per year faily of three), and I am not an immigrant. Someone please explain this to me.

Yikes, here is the best I can do to alliviate the concern

Foreclosure question?

We live in California. My husband bought to houses before we were married. Those 2 houses are now going in to foreclosure. Can we buy a house in my name before we lose the home we live in? I dont want to commit any type of fraud but we want to be able to live in a house instead of going to a apt. Any suggestions or advice would help. Thanks.

If you aren’t signed on the other 2, and you have the credit and income to buy a house, buy a house.
