Loan Modifications

Dear John,
I have heard that most of these loan modification places are scams because
if a notice of default has been recorded against the property then it is
illegal for these non-attorney organizations to get advance fees.

Here are the steps I would take if I were to take such a case.
I would check the creditors website to see what their guidelines are for
submitting a workout package. The website should also show the forms that
these lenders want.
Usually this includes:
This usually includes submitting a
1) hardship letter (describe in detail, the loss of income etc.)
2) financial workout (the debt/income ratio: most lenders prefer a workable
average of $250 surplus or deficit)
3) 2-3 months of the most recent bank statements from both the husband and
wife, and
4) 2-3 most recent paystubs/W2s.
If the debtor wants you to do it then you need the authority to act on the
clients behalf and then that should be faxed to the creditor.
I have not done this yet but this is what I would recommend. I look forward
to learning from others on this issue.
Sincerely,
David Jacob
