Lender Loan Modification Scams

Posted: Feb 21, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Lender Loan Modification Scams-First and foremost, when you are considering a Loan or Mortgage modification , beware of companies that advertise their ability to lower your rates, payments or principle balance for fee or commission. In fact the Federal Trade Commission states: "People facing foreclosure should avoid any company or individual that requires a fee in advance, guarantees to stop a foreclosure or modify a loan or advises the homeowner to sop paying the loan or mortgage company." Never pay upfront fees for this type of service!

So what else should you watch out for? You should watch out for companies that use words like "Federal" or Government" in their names but are NOT affiliated with the government.

Distressed homeowners that are looking for home foreclosure alternatives must also be cautious because not only is your pocket book on the line but so is the short time you have to avoid foreclosure. Fore example: You may find that even a ligitimate Loan or Mortgage Modification is not the right option for you because the new loan terms are still out of reach. If you want to avoid foreclosure you may find a short sale is your best option but time is ticking so you must get educated quickely!

In this video clip, Short Sale Specialist Luis Montejano & Stephen Munson of Munson Realty Southern California Real Estate-discuss Loan Modification Scams.  They discuss what and who you should look out for to avoid Loan Modification Scams.

    In the state of New York in order for a lender to foreclose on a home they must follow a judicial process. The lender needs to sue the home owner. This process begins with the lender processing a summons and complaint. When the borrower receives notice of intent to foreclose the borrower has 20 days to respond. If no action is taken by the borrower then the lender has the right to move for a summary judgment.
