One of these options is a <a title=\"Can I Get a Loan Modification in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/can-i-get-a-loan-modification-while-in-a-chapter-13-bankruptcy\/\" target=\"_blank\">loan modification<\/a>. This is when the bank changes your loan so that you have a lower, more affordable monthly payment. Many people who try to obtain a loan modification have been facing delays of all types.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/White-Girl-on-White-Background-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Girl on White Background\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/>When trying to get a loan modification, there is a lot of paperwork that the lender will need to determine whether you will qualify. Once the documents are submitted to the lender, some people will then get notification from the bank that either they are missing paperwork or that additional paperwork is needed. Another thing that seems to be common lately in the process is the lender telling the homeowner that they have missed a deadline. If that happens, they may even go back to the beginning of the process and start everything over. Typically, that means the homeowner has new deadlines, and has to submit all or some the paperwork over again.<\/p>\n<p>It seems common lately for banks to say that they will not even consider a loan modification if you are current on the payments. They encourage people to stop making the payments so that they will have a better chance of getting a loan modification. Then, after the homeowner is several months behind in payments, the bank denies them the modification and the <a title=\"Why Is It Taking Mortgage Companies So Long to Foreclose?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.duncanlawonline.com\/why-is-it-taking-mortgage-companies-so-long-to-foreclose-on-houses\/\" target=\"_blank\">foreclosure process<\/a> begins.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, after applying for a loan modification, the lender will put the homeowner on a trial period for a few months at the lower payment amount. Make sure you keep all information pertaining to these payments. It has not been uncommon lately for the lender to either say they did not receive the payment on time or at all, or they do not credit the payment to your account correctly.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are looking into the possibility of modifying your loan, be sure you are prepared for the possibility of long delays and a lot of paperwork. There could be more than one person handling your account, so make sure you write down and keep track of the entire process, including who you talk to, what papers you receive in the mail, what payments you send in, etc. Also, be sure you are persistent and follow up with the bank so you don\u2019t slip through the cracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you are having trouble making your house payments, there are options that might work well for you.
