Nearly 350,000 homeowners in California received some kind of foreclosure notice in the first half of this year. That is the highest rate in the country. Realty-Trac, the online service that tracks foreclosures, also reports banks are on pace to repossess more than 1,000,000 homes around the country by the end of this year.

Tens of thousands of struggling families have been trying to deal with their banks and lenders, sending in paperwork and payments, in an effort to win a modified loan with better terms. Many have been frustrated with ongoing delays.
