Home Loan Modifications Negotiated by Licensed Attorneys. Real Estate & Mortgage Laws and Guidelines are Complex. Beware of the Banks Loss Mitigation Department. Go To realestatemarketingthisweek.com Part 2 (Excerpt) Loan modification pitfalls when dealing directly with the bank So I have seen all kinds of things on the internet about how you can pay 5 and you can learn how to be a loan modification expert overnight. Well I can tell you after having worked with attorneys for 20 years that you are not going to know the laws, like the attorneys do, you are not going to have the negotiating skills, like the attorneys do, just by reading a book and filling out a couple of pieces of paper. That does not make you a loan modification expert. And then the important thing to point out here is even though we joke around here, Dan, Arizona is known as the wild, wild, west, there is no restriction in this state, at this time, for the loan modification industry. For people that are jumping in, for people who are trying to do it on their own, in their spare bedroom, or their old office in their homes, and nothing could be the scarier thing for a home owner. You need legal representation; you dont want to pay anyone who is not a licensed entity or a member of the bar. That is what we do, we work with a national network of attorneys that work in all 50 states. They are experts and have done thousands of these over the last 16 years and that is why we aligned ourselves with them and

There is no doubt that it is entirely possible for you to work on your own with the bank to come to a mutually amicable solution to your foreclosure problem, but you must also keep in mind that time is of the essence in dealing with loan modifications.   While you are trying to deal with the lender or servicer precious time is slipping away.   Most lenders and servicers continue on with the foreclosure process while you negotiate a modification or other alternative.  Your denial of a modification may not occur until the day before the foreclosure sale.   And if you do receive a modification offer, the offer might be unfair or possibly contingent on you giving up important rights.   There are no hard and fast rules on what lenders and servicers are willing to do, so it would be very helpful to have a skilled attorney represent you and present your situation in the best light possible. An attorney can review your financial information and help you devise a strategy to reach your end goal whether it be to modify your loan to a fixed or lower rate, add back payments to the principal, temporarily reduce payments, or just to help give you enough time to sell your home or negotiate a short sale, deed in lieu, or other alternative. An attorney can also review your loans and servicer/lenders’ actions to see if there are any violations of HOEPA, RESPA, Reg B, the Fair Debt Collections  Act,  the Fair Credit Reporting Act,  acts regarding subprime loans, predatory lending acts or any of the other consumer/borrower protections found in North Carolina and/or Federal law.   There are many rules and regulations out there that protect borrowers and consumers that you may be able to take advantage of.   Additionally, an attorney often has contacts in Loss Mitigation, Short Sale, and other departments within servicers and lenders which can increase the efficiency of you loan modification review and so that you don’t have to spend your valuable time on hold with servicer or lender departments just to have your modification paperwork lost or to be juggled from one department to another. An attorney can make these calls, negotiate your position, propose many alternatives, advise you at each juncture and keep you updated throughout the process instead of you spending large amounts of time in limbo wondering if you are doing everything possible and whether you have explored every option to reach your goal whatever that may be.   You may only have one shot at a loan modification or other alternative and by employing the services of an attorney you can feel assured that all possibilities and avenues have been explored.   For more information on loan modifications and other foreclosure alternatives, please visit:  http://zellersrudd. com/areas_of_practice/charlotte_foreclosure_alternatives. aspx

Foreclosure is a terrible situation to have to experience. Unfortunately, the world-wide recession has foreclosures happening on a daily basis. Although you may feel that your world is falling apart, you might find comfort in the fact that you do not have to go through the process alone. There is someone you can turn to who can help you pull through such a difficult time. Taking care in picking out a good Chicago foreclosure lawyer is the first step to getting your life back onto the track of normalcy. It is very important that you choose an experienced lawyer, one who will not only offer you legal support, but emotional support as well. You will not be going through this process alone, and shouldn’t feel that you are. With so many foreclosures happening all over the world, you should know that you aren’t the only one worrying about the possibility of a foreclosure, or facing an imminent foreclosure. There is one small comfort to be had from this experience, however. Know that most foreclosures that have occurred recently haven’t been through any personal fault of the owners. Many people fell for a “minimum payment” scheme offered by their mortgage company, in which they could make a smaller mortgage payment for 3 – 5 years (usually this payment does not include interest, which is why it’s so cheap). Then, after the 3 – 5 years is up, the interest that wasn’t being paid for the first couple of years is suddenly tacked on and people are faced with a raised mortgage payment that they are unable to afford. The chances are very likely that you know someone, be it a family member, friend, work colleague, or acquaintance, who has gone through the same thing. They may be able to give you some advice or recommend a good foreclosure lawyer to help you out. First you need to gather a list of possible Chicago foreclosure defense lawyers. You can easily do this by searching on the internet and making a few phone calls. It’s best if you can manage to stop by each lawyer’s office, though, just to see how you get along together. Make sure, as well, that the foreclosure defense attorney you ultimately choose is qualified to handle your case. Ask him or her about his or her experience, where he or she went to school, and things of that nature.
