A pall of gloom has again arrived for US banks, but the source for the imminent gloom is different.
It’s not the foreclosures but the mishandling of foreclosure documents from the banks itself, which has pulled the banks in a soup.
Popular mortgage lending firms had decided to suspend the foreclosure process for sometime, as banks have claimed that there could be existing irregularities in how they have handled the documents in the past.
The borrowers have sought foreclosure details from the banks. They have hired attorneys, to pull the banks to see the mistakes they have committed in handing the foreclosure documents.
The three big banks in US, namely Bank of America, JP Morgan chase and GMAC have agreed that some loopholes may have crept in due to negligence.
It remains to be seem, what penalties and fines courts would impose on these big major US banks.
Though, the problem does seem to affect borrowers, but the US banks have done it as an act of negligence, rather than an attempt to rob borrowers. The high figures of foreclosure cases in 2010 have been one of the reasons, why US banks have met this unlikely situation.
Most of the banks have committed mistakes due to shortage of workers. The understaffed banks are striving to complete the process on time, and that might be the main reason for discrepancies arising in the foreclosure documents.

Airtel donates money for Commonwealth games
The news however, came late. Airtel, the telecom giant had decided to pay $1 million to the games organizers. The amount is considered by many as very low, but what is more important is the firm’s decision to associate itself with the games, whose image has been tarnished even before the games had started.
Commonwealth games had hit the low button with series of allegations that have been pouring from all quarters.
Firstly, the fall of an over bridge set the tone, and then the games village room was inhabited by a snake, yet, to Airtel's credit, it has somehow decided to pay $1 million as a sponsored amount, when organizers had been struggling to get sponsor for the commonwealth games.
Look at the sponsor list of commonwealth games, most of the sponsor list are occupied by public sectors such as Indian railways, and NTPC. When you talk of private sponsors, it’s only been Reebok and Tata motors who led the way, before Airtel decided to join the fray.
The games organizers should learn a lesson and henceforth, try to be ultra careful and make any event look more presentable, rather than scurrying for details at the last moment.
