[2/9/12]美房貸詐欺案和解 房市現生機 美國政府已和五家大銀行就調查一年多來的房屋法拍詐欺案,達成規模260億美元的和解,可望嘉惠全美近200萬名屋主,並為低迷不振的房市帶來一線生機。
參與和解的包括Ally Financial、美銀(BofA)、花旗(Citigroup)、摩根大通和富國(Wells Fargo)等銀行。據Inside Mortgage Finance表示,這五家銀行將消化未償還房貸總額的55%,大約相當於2,700萬美元。聯邦與各州官員9日對外公布這項消息。 華爾街日報報導,未來這五家銀行將被迫修改房貸程序、調降100萬名受害屋主的貸款額或允許他們申請低利再融資,並支付另外75萬名在2008年9月至去年底間房屋遭法拍的屋主,總額約42億美元的現金補償。而政府則允諾對銀行撤銷部分提告。 這樁和解案將是美國政府繼1998年與菸草商達成和解後,規模最大的政府與民間產業和解案。2010年秋天,美國50州檢察官對這五家銀行展開調查,他們被控使用不實文件非法查封大批房屋。如今,當局希望藉由和解讓纏訟一年多的紛爭劃下句點,也寄望藉此提振欲振乏力的房市。 根據協議,五家銀行將拿出30億美元,提供受害屋主把高利率貸款轉換成低利再融資,並參與規模約170億美元的支撐房市計畫,做法包括減免部分屋主的貸款本金等。 房屋與都市發展部(HUD)預估,支撐房市計畫的減免房貸金額可能達到323億美元,使整體和解效益上看395億美元。 雖然部分人士認為,這樁和解案對拯救數百萬名受害屋主只是杯水車薪,但在國會不願批准額外支出來提振房市的情況下,銀行支付的罰金將為市場開闢新的房貸融資管道。此外,也張彰顯政府要求銀行業者為不法行為付出代價的決心。 房市問題已殘害美國經濟長達五年,和銀行和解房屋法拍詐欺是白宮為因應房市困境所做的最新努力。過去兩年來,大約有190萬棟房屋遭到查封;房價在五年內掉了將近三分之一,導致房地產市場規模損失7兆美元,多達1,100萬名屋主背負的房貸總額高於房屋本身的價值。 Read more: 世界新聞網-北美華文新聞、華商資訊 - 美房貸詐欺案和解 房市現生機 |
