The CEOs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are responding to a massive backlash over an unexpected refinancing fee. In a letter to lenders, they wrote that the uproar was unwarranted, saying it won’t make much of a difference to a homeowner’s monthly payment. And the fee will help the mortgage guarantee companies continue their work of helping others.   If you haven’t heard of the fee yet, it’s a half point surcharge on the cost of a refi that takes effect on September 1st. For the average $280,000 refi, that’s about $1400 added into the amount that is being financed.   www.NewsForInvestors.com
