Mobile skin

Mar 26, 2009 in General Family

I setup a mobile skin that should work with pretty much anything. I need to get pictures working on it but otherwise seems to work fast with phones (though it is very plain). If you are having any weirdness submit a comment I only have one phone to test with (iphone) so it’s hard to do quality control.

Loan stabalization act

Mar 26, 2009 in General Family, wells fargo

So, three weeks back I bit the bullet and called Wells Fargo to get started with the Obama plan for the Loan stabilization act. We quickly sorted out that on face we quality.
Wells Fargo gave me a bit of run around (kept insisting I just needed to look at the website some more) but after pointing out repeatedly that I wanted to actually file paper work to get started they finaly transferred me to somebody (apparently the only person since it was a 40 minute hold) who took my information and sent it off to the mysterious group that handles this program that can not be contacted directly in anyway (hmmm bad sign). Anyway, assurance where made that I would be contacted by them within two weeks.
Three weeks later still no word, not even snail mail. So I contacted Wells Fargo again. More insistence and I just needed to keep looking at (the useless) website. Eventualy after a bunch of holds the front line person came about and said that they still have not released the program nor do they have any date for a release or when customer contacts might start.

Ah, quality project management. Basically having no useful information and no I/O for interested folks on there 10,000 foot view website is pretty annoying. How many people will fail (we won’t, but a lot of folks are worse off then us) to stay current while they get this program up and running? While they, dare I say, stall like crazy?

It’s also scary that the front line folks are suggesting you go talk to the loan modification department. Anyone who changes anything on their current loan could vary easily invalidate their eligibility for the stabilization program. I wonder how accidental that redirect is…

I know big wheels turn slowly but historically with these programs that is just so they can more thoroughly powder the bones they drive over.
