Please Note: I am not an Attorney and any information I provide is not to be taken as Legal Advice, my purpose for writing this article is only to create awareness for the benefit of Borrowers and Families at hardship. I work for a Law Firm specializing in the representation of Homeowners and Families in braces of Foreclosure. What the note holder doesn’t tell you is that in most scenarios, the Mortgage Mod terms the banks are willing to give you voluntarily when you modify your loan directly with them are in most cases substandard in comparison to the modification terms you will receive when hiring an attorney who specializes in Loan Mods and Foreclosure Defense. Again, I am not a Lawyer but I have been working for a Foreclosure Defense law firm for longer than most writers on the subject and my Mortgage Lending experience is lengthly, including many years in the Loan Origination and Correspondent Lending arenas.
