Do It Yourself Loan Modification
Loan Modification is an agreement by your lender to modify your existing mortgage terms; by either reducing the loan balance, payment or interest rate, and/or by fixing your adjustable rate.
We have prepared a loan modification kit to help you organize your financial information into an easy-to-read format for your lender’s review. It is important that you disclose all details pertaining to your present circumstances and supply the documents that verify those details. It is also important that you are very specific in your Hardship Letter, as to what the circumstances are that caused your financial challenges, and how that is changing. Many loan modifications are for a period of time, 1-5 years, so the lender wants to see that there is going to be the ability to pay a higher payment in the future.
Once everything is complete and submitted to your lender, be sure to call them to ensure they received all your information and are working on your file. Contacting the lender on a weekly basis is the best way to make sure things are moving forward. Be prepared to resend the documents a few times, as it is not unusual for the lender to lose documents within their system. Keep a log of dates, phone numbers and who you spoke with, and what you were told.
