Maybe I am the only one, but I don't think this is crazy. The debtor who rejects a contract loses contractual privity with a lender. If the debtor then goes to the lender and asks to refinance, there is, implied in this request, a claim of privity.
Yes, there is still a lien on the property, that can be refinanced, but I understand why a lender, who/which had its face slapped by contractual rejection, would not want to have another relationship with the debtor.
Once, when I was a young lawyer, I asked Judge Lazarow to intercede with a landlord to extend a lease. The debtor had never missed a payment to the landlord, but the landlord didn't want a bankrupt in his property. Judge Lazarow told me flat out, that he had no power to force a lessor to do anything once a lease expired. That the landlord had rights and it was too bad for the debtor. These two situations are similar.

That was a car case, but I think his analysis holds true even with a mortgage. I need to look on my other listserves but I believe there has been some push back by consumer attorneys against these sort of requests by refinance companies.
