Since there were repeated attempts to reach ASC and work out something with them, numerous "we'll call you back" or let me give you over to someone else, my husband finally ended up including our house in his bankruptcy. He did this because he was afraid his bankruptcy would be discharged and he would be left with a loan with ASC that would be impossible to work out. So yes, they proffited. The crooks got our house and are taking advantage of homeowners all over the US. I think its a d**n shame that somebody doesnt step in and do something to these CROOKS!!!

If you house is worth, say, $250,000 and you owe $98,000 on it, then yes, Americas Servicing Company will profit. But if your house is worth $120,000 then no, they will end up with almost $105,000 invested in a non-performing asset, plus their carrying costs for taxes and property protection and supervision, plus RE commissions when the house is sold. This latter scenario is not a great moneymaker. But perhaps ASC account mangers are under the gun to prevent the houses they have mortgages on from being involved in an owner's bankruptcy.
