Does this mean that it is bad? No, it is better than facing foreclosure or attempting a "short sale." Yet the pitch was made that this plan would allow for homeowners to have a fresh start. Therefore, how does this really help one with all the other items that a based on FICO scores? Insurance is the one that comes to mind, lowering your house payment but raising your insurance rates seems to be a wash.
