Five Ways to Modify Your Loan

1. Waiving or reduction of delinquent balance.

If late penalties account for most of your debt, this can be a viable option. Your lender can reduce the amount you owe in late charges, or if you’re lucky, even write it off altogether. They can also add it to your principal, so you won’t have to pay it up front.

2. Reduction of interest rate.

Sub-prime lenders, with their notoriously high interest rates, are the reason why many people are facing foreclosure. This is why interest reduction is one of the most common forms of loan modification. With a lower interest rate, you can better handle monthly payments and stay current on your mortgage.

3. Extension of term.

Your lender can also add years to your loan term, allowing you to spread out the payments. This may be the best arrangement if your income has changed and the payments have become unmanageable. Most lenders will agree to this change because they technically don’t lose any money—they’ll simply get it in smaller installments.

4. Shift to fixed-rate plan.

Most people who fall behind are in adjustable-rate mortgages. This means the interest rates are determined by market indicators and can change from month to month. A fixed-rate mortgage, on the other hand, uses the same rate for the term of the loan and is better for the long run. Because it’s more secure, you’re less likely to be affected by economic slowdown.

5. Reduction of principal.

In some cases, it may be cheaper for your lender to simply reduce the amount you owe. This isn’t very common, since they still lose money in the process. It’s usually granted when the costs of undergoing foreclosure or a short sale are greater than the amount they can write off.

How does Loan Modification Affect My Credit Score

There’s no single answer for this question—it all depends on how far behind you are and the kind of mortgage loan modification you’ll be granted.

Possible Positive Outcomes

Technically, since you’re not borrowing any money, a home loan modification won’t hurt your credit score. If you’re paying less in interest, you have a smaller debt burden. And since most lenders prefer an interest rate reduction, there’s a pretty good chance that a mortgage loan modification will improve your credit score. The implications are even better if your lender reduces part of the principal, although this is less common. The reduced principle amount amount will show up on your report as a smaller loan, which can improve your credit score.

Uncertain Factors

Unfortunately, it doesn’t always happen that way. If your lender reports the home loan modification to the credit bureaus as paid for less than the original amount owed, it will count against your score. If you’re already in foreclosure, the impact on your credit can be substantial. Of course, compared to a short sale or a foreclosure, a home loan modification is still the best way to maintain your credit standing.

Tax Consequences

The IRS announced in 2007 that loan modifications would no longer be classified as “prohibited transactions.” This applied to all loans originated from January 2004 to July 2007, the peak of the sub-prime boom, and those due to adjust from January 2009 to July 2012. If your mortgage falls under these categories, you won’t have to file a 1099 declaring the change as taxable.

A: Besides the pay stubs and tax forms, some lenders will ask for at least two months of bank statements. But that is strictly to determine your income. Credit scores are never used for qualification.

Q: Can my lender give me any compensation?

A: No. Lenders don't offer commission like on normal loans, so there's no compensation involved.

A: Our fees are based on your mortgage payment amount, and the complexity and urgency of your situation.

Yes, you do need to pay us one payment to start the loan modification process, but we do accept installment payments.

Q. How long does it take to complete the case once we fill out the paperwork?

A: Anywhere from 10 days to several months. This depends on the stage of delinquency you are in and your financial position. Typically it takes 30 - 90 days to obtain a resolution.
