Today, Countrywide Financial (NYSE:CFC) released their December Operational Results showing again that delinquencies and foreclosures are continuing to remain at troubling levels with delinquencies climbing 20.72% and foreclosures soaring over 105% since December of 2006.Prior to January 2007, Countrywide reported foreclosure data as a percentage of the total number of loans serviced which obviously lacked complete clarity.
