Loan Modification

Loan modifications are the most common type of mortgage relief assistance available today. A loan modification is a temporary or permanent change in one or more of the terms of a loan which allows the loan to be reinstated. This modification results in a lower payment that the borrower can afford. In most cases, a homeowner that can demonstrate need of assistance will qualify for a loan modification. A loan modification is appropriate when the original loan that is secured by the residence has terms that make it difficult or impossible for the homeowner to continue making the monthly payments, therein creating a risk that the residence will be lost. Loan modifications are not the same as debt consolidations, refinance loans, or forbearances. Loan modifications are long term solutions which seek to prevent hardship from threatening the budget of a homeowner.

The following list provides some examples of ways that a mortgage loan can be modified:

  • Change interest rate from variable to fixed interest rate
  • Reduce a fixed interest rate to a lower fixed interest rate
  • Reduce the principal balance
  • Reduce adjustable interest rate/reduce CAPS of adjustable interest rate
  • Stop upward adjustment of adjustable interest rate
  • Arrange for delinquent payment amounts to be added to the end of loan
  • Arrange for delinquent payment amounts to be added to a longer loan period
  • Arrange for delinquent payment amounts to be accepted in an alternative payment plan
  • Arrange for the lender to accept a discounted pay-off or forbearance
