The first thing a homeowner should do is determine the current mortgage on the property is legitimate. That is, there is no truth in Lending Act violations or RESPA violations and no fraud on behalf of the lender or broker that originated your loan in question. If you try to stop a foreclosure, you need to go as ammunition as possible from its creditors.
That said let’s review some important tips to help you save your home could.

Tip # 2 The insurance of the owner of a full written life of loan history should include all the false accusations and charges on your mortgage balance to see. Neither the owner to make sure that there is an excess valuation and / or lost property value calculated on the training.
Warning Signs and things to take into account your loan:
For starters, the comparison of the loan that you thought was lost forever. If the conditions are the same? That is, your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) the same as they were called? Are your total monthly payments the same as you said, would they be? Is there a prepayment penalty, and if so, were you told this prepayment penalty?
If you have refinanced your primary residence, which means that the house of his currently living, then the first thing you should consider is the “Notice of Withdrawal” as the right to cancel three days. You have to change a rule, three days after the signing of loan documents Feedback and cancel the loan.
The borrower must be notified in writing of this right.
If the creditor does not provide proper instructions to cancel the right of withdrawal, the right of withdrawal for up to three years renewable.
If the law extends to three years, you may revoke the loan at any time three years ago, which means that the loan will be treated as if it never existed. In essence, you are entitled to all benefits, prompting the lender as a result of this loan. This means that the lender the interest to pay all closing costs, all broker fees, and even pay his legal fees. As you can imagine, this amount can be quite substantial.
The extended right of rescission is a powerful tool for borrowers who are victims of predatory lending was to help and support our customers of this right is often the first step in holding a creditor responsible for illegal behavior.
If it is determined that no laws were violated in your mortgage, then it’s time your lender for a possible loan workout or loan modification approach.
Factors to consider include:
First the nature of the distress of the cause of your problems />
Second Solvency />
Amount owed Third
Fourth equity in the property
Fifth future financial situation
Sixth What is best for them. To exclude the exercise or a loan workout with you and / or modify your loan. This means that the best approach will benefit the long-term lender.
A loan workout or loan modification generally occurs when the parties is a problem loan mutually agree to workout the problem by creating new and better loan terms. The hope is that the new loan for the borrower to meet its obligations.
When applying for a loan modification, a game plan on how exactly to approach them. These people are trained to minimize the loss of their business and get through the ever more money from you as possible or declare that your case is viable and segregate without pay to you. Thus, mitigating the loss. If you understand this, then you know you’re approaching them, and all calls have to be careful.
All that can and will be used against him.
The lender has two platoons of employees who talk with delinquent borrowers. The first is the collections department, she received from people who make money from you and try to leverage on current payments exists. The second group consists of the loss mitigation specialists. These departments have different names depending on the service provider, including foreclosure prevention, loan resolution and delinquency customer service. We are the most common name used for the department: loss mitigation or loss. It can be difficult to get through the loss mitigation department if collection agents transmit calls discouraged. This is one of the advantages of an assistant, as a lawyer or housing counselor. The first will intimidate bill collectors and the second may have contacts in the department of loss mitigation is.
The trick with any bank and get a point to make is learning to navigate their phone system to increase your chances of a living person. Over the years, I have a few tricks that help, sometimes the choices you know to learn about a person, as when he says, “a representative of the press ___” but sometimes they do not give these options have lead to hearing . So you have to think about what dignity chance of gaining a living person. For example, often far from New customer includes a live representative … because they always want new business. You have to be a bit smarter, however, can not simply say, sales type called them, so you have a hot body could answer the phone!
Once you have a living person, you want to work your way up to decision makers. This is sometimes difficult for owners to do as a third party. Often with the homeowner who receives evasive on the first level, and unfortunately, in the first stage of Loss Mitigation is really a glorified collections department. They are paid hourly wages of workers, very little if not zero motivation to go the extra mile and help you take some comfort and relief necessary to resolve the problem. They are often only the problem by connecting rude and demanding, saying things like “pay bills easily.” It is therefore important that you get close to these people and professional.
Sometimes, at this point, you have to put up with the employee per hour through a process of filling out forms and information. With products such as pay stubs, tax returns and a range of financial information. Once everything is present, then some lenders will assign the file to someone higher up in the department of loss mitigation.
The most important element of this process is your budget and you have done your due diligence, are you ready. There you will receive a detailed list of your monthly expenses to ask. If it is too close, can not be approved if you go too additional income you have an outrageous payment plan. He did not agree to it!
The second most important thing is you can not spend your mortgage payments. People often fail to pay, because they have fallen behind in other bills, or I can not make payment for the house. Over the years more often than not, people I have met with an income that comes in every month, can not only meet all their obligations, so while the house is behind his use of the fact that they are not Payment Payment of the house to catch up with other debts. This is not wise. Sock away as much of this money each month, as you can. Its crucial, here is why; />
If you do not want you to pay your mortgage for 3-4 months and your lender decides to negotiate a payment plan or loan modification, then they are and what is “good faith” money for you at the table with me. This is usually 30-75% and sometimes 100% of what you owe in arrears and attorney fees. Often I speak with homeowners who spend all their money and have work to do with it. If this is the case, then do not expect them to work with you, or you have a better explanation REAAAALLLY and proof of why you can not bring money to the table. P>
