Dunbar native Joseph A. Smith Jr. has been nominated by the administration of President Barack Obama to serve as head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency the agency that regulates mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I went to elementary and junior high in Dunbar and graduated from Dunbar High School in 1967, Smith said in a telephone interview on Monday. I had a terrific childhood there. Smiths mother, Helen Fisher Smith, still lives in Dunbar. She was choir director at Humphreys Memorial United Methodist Church for 24 years without pay, Smith said. She ultimately was chair of the Kanawha County Library Board. His father, the late Joseph A. Smith, was a general practitioner. He served on the state medical licensing board for a number of years, Smith said. Being a doctors kid ...

The nation's financial profile seems to be a moving target as we go to press. In early September, disaster loomed as the newest media star, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, made repeated announcements. On Sept. 7, he declared that the federal government would take over the giant mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to help stabilize the housing and financial markets. A few days later, during an interview with NPR, Kenneth Rogoff, a professor of economics at Harvard University and former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, said the country was facing "the worst financial crisis since World War II." Four days after that, the 158- year-old global financial-services firm Lehman Brothers collapsed into bankruptcy protection; Lehman rival Merrill Lynch nervously sol...

Unless a debtor becomes unemployed, or his financial circumstances change for the worse in some other way, there really should be little excuse for bad debt. The point is that lenders as well as borrowers should act responsibly. In January, Northern Rock, the UK's fifth-biggest mortgage lender, announced record pre-tax profits of L626.7m. The bank recorded strong net new mortgage lending coupled with lower bad debt provision. Even so, CEO Adam Applegarth called for the government to intervene to regulate on insolvency agreements that are sold to customers. Applegarth said that formal government regulation was needed to prevent potential mis-selling of Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs). He pointed out that turning to an IVA meant that the debtor had a ruined credit score when the ...

As America's mortgage markets began unraveling this year, economists seeking explanations pointed to "subprime" mortgages issued to low-income, minority and urban borrowers. But an analysis of more than 130 million home loans made over the past decade reveals that risky mortgages were made in nearly every corner of the nation, from small towns in the middle of nowhere to inner cities to affluent suburbs. The analysis of loan data by The Wall Street Journal indicates that from 2004 to 2006, when home prices peaked in many parts of the country, more than 2,500 banks, thrifts, credit unions and mortgage companies made a combined $1.5 trillion in high-interest-rate loans. Most subprime loans, which are extended to borrowers with sketchy credit or stretched finances, fall into this basket.
