biggest lenders for mortgages in
plainfield, bank of america and
wells fargo.
bank of america had no comments.
wells fargo say they continue to
work with borrowers to find
alternatives.
we asked both to come on camera
and talk about the situation,
neither of those banks agreed to
come on camera.
>> poppy, what about mortgage
modifications.
what are the banks saying?
>> you know, they're not talking
to us.
they gave those statements.
i think what's interesting,
brooke, if you look at the
ripple effect t. the mayor says
they've seen hundreds of
thousands of lost revenue for
the city.
when people leave the city, they
get foreclosed on, leave the
homes, they leave the school
district.
that means less funding from the
state to the city for those
schools.
the schools have laid off staff.
>> it's a domino effect.
>> domino effect.
the city has laid off half their
workers since february alone.
so this is one city, but these
emblematic of the crisis that
continues in the so-called
recovery...
