Struggling IndyMac borrowers may be in the dark about offer to lower their mortgage payments - Los Angeles Times: "The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s program to lower loan payments for struggling borrowers with mortgages from IndyMac Bank has been lauded by consumer advocates and government leaders as a model of foreclosure prevention.
But when the FDIC, which is running IndyMac, mailed out 35,000 letters offering homeowners a chance to rework the terms of their mortgages, more than half the borrowers were apparently so discouraged, scared or stressed out that they didn't bother to respond."

You have to love the media. Look at the helpful excuses they offer as the only possible explanations: they were "discouraged, scared, or stressed out."
I could add one or two to that list, but they would have a bit of a critical edge. Things like intelligence, a sense of personal responsibility, opening your mail...old fashioned notions like that.
