Who can you talk to about avoiding foreclosure


Homeowners need to have a place to turn and they need to know what their options are. National Foreclosure Prevention Service offers free confidential consultations; even if we are unable to help at least we can give honest advice to the homeowner about their options.



Ultimately there are only three ways we can help and the first is through education. You have to know that you have options and you have to know what those options are.
A Loan Modification will help them save their home and save their credit from being trashed by having the house foreclosed on. Unfortunately not everyone will qualify for a loan modification, but if they want to keep their home that is where they should start.

A Short Sale will get them from under the debt, but you have to know the different options and terminology regarding a short sale. For example some lenders consider the “Cash for Keys Program” a short sale and will forgive the balance of the debt, where other lenders will not and they will come after you for the balance of the debt.

It seems these banks are getting ready to issues bonuses and they can’t do that as long as they are under the scrutiny of the TARP Program…coincidence, I don’ think so. Repayment of the funds frees BOA from the government restrictions that have hampered its search for a new CEO, including executive pay limitations. Bank of America’s Chief Risk Officer Gregory Curl and Brian Moynihan, the head of consumer banking, are among the top contenders. However, both men have been criticized by analysts as lacking experience or being too close to the Merrill deal. Bank of America was among hundreds of banks that received government support through the government's TARP program. The bank received $25 billion as part of the initial round of...

Can Loan Modifications Help?

Image
We had a chance to review the guidelines before they came out and we already know that the loan modification program is not really going to help the people who need the help the most. The Treasury Department announced the first six participants to sign up for President Obama's loan modification program and they are JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, GMAC Mortgage, Saxon Mortgage Services and Select Portfolio Servicing. The good news is that we have worked with and recently modified loans with every single lender presented here before they applied and or were selected to participate in the program. They all have internal modification departments dedicated to helping the homeowner facing difficult times. Now they will get incentives from the government to modify these mortgage loans; it will be interesting to see how many guideline changes they will go through before they decide to move forward with and approve homeowners for the government’s HAMP program. A statement is...
