Wells Fargo & Co. has joined Bank of America Corp. as the first two banks to sign onto the federal government’s program to modify second mortgages.
Under the government’s plan, borrowers who have been extended loan modifications on first mortgages can now apply to reduce their second mortgages.
Analysts say banks have been reluctant to adopt this part of the government’s loan modification program because they continue to hold most second mortgages and forgiving them will be costly.
