Long Term Solutions (con’t) • Loan modification is a written agreement between you and your Lender • Sometimes a fee is assessed to cover the costs/expenses to process a modification • Once a modification is processed, you begin making new principal and interest payments based on the modified terms • Credit history will still reflect the prior delinquency, however it will also reflect the modification and your efforts to bring your account current Confidential - Internal Distribution
If retaining your home is not an option (PreSale) • If retaining your home is not an option, protecting your credit is important. • A Pre-Sale is when your Lender works with you as you attempt to sell your home through a realtor • What if my house has decreased in value? • Your Lender can work with you to accept an amount lower than the total debt if the true market value has declined • You may be asked to sign Promissory Note to pay that difference • Each individual situation is evaluated to determine whether a promissory note is necessary Confidential - Internal Distribution
If retaining your home is not an option (Deed in Lieu) • If you have a hardship and are unable to sell your home, a Deed in Lieu (DIL) may be an option • A DIL means you sign title over to your lender and vacate the property • You must have no junior liens to qualify for this option Confidential - Internal Distribution
What if I am already in Foreclosure • It is not too late • Pick up the phone and call your Lender hotline • You may still be able to avail yourself of one of the options described • Partner with your Lender and most likely you can work something out Confidential - Internal Distribution
What if I have filed bankruptcy already, or filed in the past? • Contact your Attorney or the Bankruptcy Trustee and let them know you want to work something out with your Lender • Call your Lender’s hotline - they will speak to you about options even when you are in bankruptcy • You may be able to have your bankruptcy case dismissed and pursue another option Confidential - Internal Distribution
YOU are the one who can make a difference • Lenders have staff who want to help • Departments staffed with caring, experienced employees ready to assist • Referred to as “Loan Resolution Department, Loss Mitigation Department, Workout Department, Homeownership Retention Department” • They can’t assist without the YOU, the homeowner Confidential - Internal Distribution
