The biggest reason that loan mods are virtually never granted is that the so called “lender” is actually only a servicer of the loan and not the true holder of the note. We’re going to talk about this in more detail in a subsequent blog post but knowing that this is true in 80 to 90% of all mortgages (originated or refinanced from 2000 to 2009) can save homeowners a lot of heartache.
What we see so often is homeowners trusting in the “nice people” in the loan mod department who are “working hard” to push the loan mod through. However, they just need more information or they lost what was already sent them or there are further questions that need answering, and so forth. THERE ARE USUALLY DELAYING TACTICS ON THE PART OF THE BANK.
