the default rates could surged that quarter for any number or reasons.

(not having Q1 99 economic statistics readily at hand)

but what is your point? there was a spike in foreclosures when the economy was stronger, and there is a spike now that the economy is weak?

all that implies is we may be in for even higher foreclosure rates.

the spike in Q1 99 could have been a result of mortgage holders accelerating bad loans off of their books..

i really don't know.

Was this time frame when Congress started talking seriously about bankruptcy reform? Not sure if that would be the cause for the spike, but I do recall a spike in bankruptcy filings around that time period.
