This video provides a basic overview of what HAMP is and how it works, particularly within the bankruptcy context.While this video was prepared primarily for the private chapter 7 and chapter 13 trustees who handle the day-to-day administration of bankruptcy cases, anyone interested in gaining a general understanding of HAMP will find it helpful.
