My boat loan is with Bank of the West. Do you think they will drop my loan pay off to equal their estimated value on my 2000 298 Vista given the new adjustments? Ha!! I even did a 15 year loan and I am probably still upside down by about $10k to $15k according to BOW's estimates. At least I get the second home write-off on my taxes (that is, for now, until obama and the socialist in congress decide that I am too rich to deserve it).
My wife works for a small community bank. Collections no less. You would be amazed at the things a smaller bank will let people get away with or forbearances. Dealing with the big banks you don't have a prayer.
Our mortgage is with BoA and I wish we would have gone with my wife's bank. I work in a field that is highly cyclical and layoffs are not uncommon every couple years. If I lost my job at least my wife's bank is lienient to give people time to get back on their feet and tags the payments onto the end of the note. BoA would be 1-2-3 foreclose on your ass.
