Understanding Loan Modification
Liberty Credit Law, PC
What is Loan Modification?
A loan modification is a change in the terms of a home loan or mortgage. The change is implemented so that the person can afford to pay his or her mortgage and avoid foreclosure on his or her home. Loan modifications allow for the lender and the borrower to agree to new loan terms that are mutually beneficial. When a person obtains a loan modification, his or her:
- mortgage interest rate may be reduced
- monthly payment may be lowered
- late fees may be eliminated
- mortgage repayment time span may increase
Why would someone file for A Loan Modification?
Most people file for loan modification when they would like to reduce their monthly mortgage payment or know that their homes are at risk for foreclosure. Instead of losing their homes, people obtain loan modifications which allow them to maintain ownership of their houses and property at a monthly rate that they can afford.
