How bad are foreclosures at HSBC Finance? I thought people were getting a lot of phone calls, judging by the reports and complaints we receive. Some idiots, like NovaStar, were calling home owners early in the month, even before the payments were due. I thought these subprime lenders were checking to see […]
We saw this on September 16th: “Investment banks must move quickly to strengthen their balance sheets and address their lack of funding if they are to come out of the current financial crisis unscathed, a senior banker at HSBC has warned.” A warning from HSBC? Acting like a global authority HSBC fails […]
HSBC PLC leads the list of top losers so far today and is now at $76.87, down $2.44 (-3.08%) on volume of 1,013,233 shares traded. Part of the problem for HSBC comes from the IMF, which said subprime issues will continue and may actually get worse. HSBC became of of the leading subprime […]

Even bankrupt lenders are looking for a new approach to lending. One subprime lender, the bankrupt Delta Financial, is reemerging as a lender of FHA mortgages and other “alternative” products. The company’s former chief executive, Hugh Miller, along with a small group of former Delta executives, is launching Reliance First Capital, a mortgage company […]
Citigroup Inc., HSBC Finance Corp. and seven other companies agreed to help delinquent homeowners in Ohio avoid foreclosure in the first such accord between a state and home-loan servicers, Governor Ted Strickland said. Like alcoholics that keep drinking, the companies pledged to make an effort. Banks and other lenders pledged to modify terms […]
This is a classic example of how the subprime mess spun out of control. It is a classic example of how state regulators are continually frustrated by federal regulators and their desire to overrule state-level laws.
