'Height of insanity:' Trump ends VA mortgage rescue program; 15,000 veterans face higher payments, 700 see $1,000 hike

After the discontinuation of the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase program, many veterans are encountering significantly higher mortgage payments. Over 15,000 veterans have experienced payment increases of at least $150 due to loan modifications. More than 700 veterans have reported payment hikes exceeding $1,000 monthly, creating financial distress. The decision to end the program has left veterans with fewer options to manage their mortgages.
