Why doesn't 580d apply to refinances. There is nothing in the statute that
limits it to purchase money transactions. It says any recorded deed where there
is a trust deed sale not a judicial foreclosure

Just so you know, I've just negotiated reafs with Beneficial for my client 1st and 2nd TD's. They have lowered interest rates from 7.5% to 5% and 12.5 to 7.5% with only making a few calls.

deficiency anyway. HFC has a small second on this home also. They
have called me ten times to see if my clients will reaffirm. I told
them to lower the interest rate and they wanted tons of info
including an explanation of why before they would consider lowering
the rate.

Civil Code Section 580(b) is the no deficiency statute. I don't
think it applies to refinance loans. I have a client with an HSBC
loan and HSBC offered to reduce the interest from 7. something to
6.0. It's a refi loan so I think there would be a right to
deficiency anyway. HFC has a small second on this home also. They
have called me ten times to see if my clients will reaffirm. I told

Just to add to this a little:
This is a purchase money (first) mortgage. Does doing a reaffirmation agreement change the anti-deficiency nature of the debt? Can the debtor still walk away later, give back the property and not owe anything further despite the reaffirmed debt?
