   No offense, but this isn't news. We were notified that our line was being suspended months ago...

   After reading this article I felt that its is surely unfair for Las Vegas to be the city
   where citizens cannot take out Home Equite Lines of Credit just because there are
   many foreclosed properties. Im sure there are many different cities where the
   number of bank owned propetries well exceds our numbers. Due to the recession
   that United States is currently struggling with the whole country has problems with
   falling values of properties, maybe Countrywide shoud not stop leding money on
   home equity lines of credit but maybe cut them into a smaller numbr of approved
   ones because some of the current residents do have the funds to pay back the loan
   and it might be unfair.There are possibilites that the market will go back up and the
   homes will start to gain value soon enough and then Countrywide will be right back
   in the business.In fact Las Vegas real estate market has rised in last few weeks
   so I definately think that there is hope. If Countrywide will suspend them nationally then I will name that fair.
