I heard there were services that provided you with W-2s etc to “help you out”. Paulson and Bair and others have made it clear they really, really, don’t want the loan servicers to go through the borrowers one by one and actually discover and weed out the ones who committed fraud, or can afford to pay. If Paulson and Bair and a lot of other people in charge of setting and enforcing the rules are showing near-desperation in their efforts to ensure lots and lots of voters will get nice deals in workouts, I don’t think the servicers will be allowed to get too fussy. We’ll see.
