When MABS tries to help, it is ignored in many cases by financial institutions that are intent on one action. I am seeing a lot of evidence that these institutions, rather than leaving those who are only partially paying their mortgages in their homes, are choosing to repossess properties now that the increase in asset values means they will get all their money back. There is a great deal of evidence of this throughout the country. I would contend that it is a pretty consistent approach.
