Hi coneyislandny!

Welcome to forums!

As your loan term was modified due to the loan modification, I think the interest rate was reduced. As the interest rate was reduced, the loan term was increased. Thus, you will have to pay a lesser amount for a longer period of time in order to clear off the mortgage dues.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Hi Arline, As to what you said, You refi the loan correct? They more then likely lowered the interest rate as stated above in which the whole loan will start over at a lower monthly rate. You will start all over at 30 years again.

I did not refinance I just modified, it was done may 2008, MY intrest rate did not change it is still at 8% since 93. The payment went down $20 not much difference. My mortgage co. also had me pay them $1000 up front before they would remodify my loan.

it sounds like you refinanced your loan without knowing all the details. The lender didn't tell you that the loan was 30 year fixed? Have you talked to them about this?

What they said is that they would put the money i owed on the back of my loan. They said the loan would be modified and that i could not refinance at the time that i would have to wait at least 6 months to a year.

Hi Arline!

Welcome back to forums!

You were delinquent on your mortgage payments and thus applied for a loan modification. The lender accepted your request and modified the loan. He gave you a new repayment plan wherein your interest rate was reduced so that you could pay off the debts easily. However, by doing so, the lender increased your loan term.

As your loan is modified, you need to make regular payments for at least 8-12 months in order to refinance the loan.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
