NEW YORK - GMAC Financial Services, a lender that has received $12.5 billion in government bailouts, posted a third straight quarterly loss on Wednesday, hurt by red ink in its mortgage business.
The third-quarter net loss for Detroit-based GMAC totaled $767 million, compared with a loss of $2.5 billion a year earlier.
GMAC's auto finance unit had a profit of $395 million in the quarter, while its mortgage operations posted a loss of $747 million.
The lender has struggled as the deteriorating auto and housing markets have caused financing volume to decline and credit losses to increase. GMAC's owners include automaker General Motors
