Mortgage rate settlement reachedThe Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Maryland Attorney General said it reached an agreement with Wells Fargo & Co. over the allegedly deceptive marketing of adjustable rate mortgages written by Wachovia and Golden West Financial, which Wells Fargo acquired in 2008. In addition to loan modifications for certain consumers, Wells Fargo has agreed to pay the attorney general's office $940,056 for restitution to borrowers who lost their homes in foreclosure. The division said the lenders did not fully explain to borrowers that under one of four ARM options, their minimum payments would not cover the full interest amount and their principal debt would actually increase over time.

This Article examines the tax treatment of Islamic mortgage alternatives and considers the cultural and constitutional implications of the tax treatment of mortgage debt. Islamic law cannot be separated from the religion of Islam, and one of the primary tenets of Islamic law is the prohibition of riba, which is defined by some Islamic jurists as the payment of interest on any loan. Financing institutions, working with Muslim religious leaders, have developed a number of financing instruments that do not violate the prohibition against riba, thus facilitating home ownership for those Muslims who do not feel comfortable with a traditional mortgage. Should payments under such instruments qualify for the home mortgage interest deduction? What are the potential consequences of either permitt...

The plan announced Thursday by the Bush administration to freeze interest rates on some subprime mortgages will help many troubled borrowers, but leave others in the cold, several North Jersey observers said Thursday. Under the plan, which was negotiated with the mortgage industry, certain homeowners with subprime, adjustable-rate mortgages who have made all their payments on time will be able to avoid sharply rising monthly payments. Others would get assistance in refinancing with their lenders and moving into loans secured by the Federal Housing Administration, President Bush said.
