adjustable rate mortgage freeze

September 30th, 2008 by admin


Did lawmakers pass that plan to freeze adjustable rate mortgages?

About a month ago, Paulson was talking about a plan to freeze adjustable rate mortgages that meet a certain criteria?

Was that plan passed? I haven’t heard much about it lately. If it was passed, how do you take advantage of it? Is your ARM automatically frozen or do you have to apply some how?

Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

There is no automatic freezing, nor is there any law passed which mandates such freezing of rates. Several of the larger mortgage firms (lenders) have voluntarily agreed to hold rates on adjustable rate mortgages for the next several years. However, they are not mandated to do so.
