Obama have been said to not will not sign a bill that would let foreclosure and other documents to be taken among several states. Consumer advocates and State officials had debated that the legislation would make it hard for residents to challenge foreclosure documents made in other states. The White House stated that it is sending the bill to Congress for revisions, and that the administration would labor with lawmakers on it. According to O. Max Gardner, consumer lawyer in Shelby, N.C., the bill would have been much worse towards problems with foreclosure documents.

This is because the mortgage companies would have been able to produce large amounts of documents and place a digital version of a notary’s seal rather than one on paper. Based on the reports, President Barack Obama has rejected a bill that the White House believes could bring much problem to the mounting problems caused by wrong or misleading documents used by financial institutions in home foreclosures. Based on Robert Gibbs, White House press secretary, Obama is transmitting the latest passed bill back to Congress to be modified due to the current version has “unintended consequences on consumer protections.”
