Hi CDL,
As you have already applied for a loan modification, the lender will give you a new plan for repayment of your debts. So you will have to pay according to the new plan.
Thanks |

Welcome vina,
I would suggest you to contact an attorney who will help you in writing the letter and explaining the causes of tax lien to the lender.

Post subject: Struggling with a hard decision |
|
|
We have two mortgages. Our first is with CitiMortgage with a balance of $161,048.00 at 5.25% and a 30 year fixed. We have a forebearance plan that we pay 1,582.00/month until August. Our second is with Countrywide with a balance $146,000.00 at 8.375% interest only 25 year ARM. We pay 1,020.00/month on this. I would estimate the value of our 987 sq.ft. home to be $200,000.00. We are trying to decide if we should keep struggling to make payments on a home we have outgrown and that will not come up in value for many years to come or try to do a short sale or go into foreclosure. We bring home $2,600.00 every two weeks after taxes and insurance. We think we make too much to qualify for a loan modification that would give us the incentive and ability to stay in our home.
Do you think our mortgage companies would lower our loan balances if we make $90,000/year? Do they look at what you bring home or gross income? Should we try to stay in home that is too small with three children and worth over $100,000.00 less than we owe to keep our credit. How long is our credit affected after having a foreclosure or short sale?
I appreciate any help you can be on this difficult financial and moral decision we have to make. |

Hi Rocky,
I can understand that you are going through a tough situation. However, you should note that the lender will not accept your request for a short sale until you are delinquent in your payments.
As far as foreclosure is concerned, I think that a short sale is a better option than foreclosure. A foreclosure will reduce your credit score by 250 points whereas a short sale will reduce your payments by 75-100 points. Moreover a foreclosure will also stay in your credit report for 7 years.
Mortgage companies cannot directly lower your mortgage balance. You can apply for a loan modification and check if you can qualify for it or not. This will help you in saving your property. However, if you can afford to lose the property, then you can go for a short sale or a deed in lieu.
Thanks |

Hi tkraus,
You will have to write a hardship letter to the lender explaining your difficulties to him. To know more about how to write a hardship letter, check out the given link:

It seems to me that Chase Manhatten are guilty of extreme ignorence...kind of like an ostrich that buries it's head in the sand! How can they just ignore their customers they way they do? I have repeatedly tried to talk to someone to adjust my arm to a fixed ...I pay on time and they tell me NO because my equity is now upside down due to this economy! How can they be so HEARTLESS??? What can I do to get my rate fixed??

Hi Frustrated,
I think you should write a hardship letter to the lender stating the difficulty you are facing under current situation and why you desperately want to get the rate fixed. You should also state that if the situation doesn't change, you may not be able to be current on the loan any more. This I think will be more effective in convincing the lender.
Thanks,
Jerry |

Hi marley,
If you are with urban league forclosure prevention since dec08 and they have been negotiating with the lender to work out a plan, there should have been some records with the lender regarding this. However, I think you need to talk with urban league in this regard as they will be in a better position to help you.
Thanks,
Jerry |
