Although market observers still note that this pace is too slow to make a significant difference, most Americans feeling the pinch wouldn’t sneeze at $500 less out of their pocket at the end of the month.
Leading the pack of servicers on it are is GMAC, converting 48% or 17,102 of their trial modifications to permanent. Next is CitiMortgage with 47% or 22,455. But when you look at sheer numbers Bank Of America is the clear winner, completing 32,900 permanent Loan Modifications with 38,074 approved and awaiting acceptance by the borrowers.
