How To Get A Loan Modification In A Week Or Less
If you want to get your loan modification approved in a week or less, good luck! It is almost impossible…or is it?
If you know anything about loan modifications, you know that it generally takes 2 to 3 months to get the modification approved. It is a stressful process if you are the homeowner desperately waiting for an answer. Some lucky people can get this done in about a month, but this is very rare. Getting it done in a week or less is almost unheard of!
The reason it takes so long to get a loan modified is because there are so many people in need of this service. Lenders have stacks and stacks of files on their desks and not enough employees. It takes a long time to sort through all those files and get the loan mod completed.
There are a few companies out there that have such close relationships with lenders that they will actually allow them to take some of the unbearable workload off their backs. There are only a few companies that do this because it is very hard to come up with the necessary ratios to get this accomplished.
What this means in lamens terms is this: A company that provides this service can call up your lender with your loan number. They speak to a case manager and review your file. They approve or deny the loan modification right away and tell them what your interest rate and payment will be. They can then tell you what the terms of your modification will be and you can decide to move forward or pursue another option.
If you do decide to move forward, they can generally complete the loan modification within 24 hours to 7 days. To further ease your financial burden, often times they can push back your next payment 30 days from the date the loan mod docs are signed.
The success of this depends on what lender you have and if you are even a candidate for a loan modification. The top lenders participating in this program are Countrywide, Bank of America and EMC. These are not the only lenders, just the main ones.
If you want to get your loan modification approved in less than a week, this might be your only option.
How Good Are Your Chances For a Loan Modification?
There is nothing more powerful than a forensic loan audit to stop a foreclosure, stall a foreclosure, or prevent a foreclosure, and then successfully bring loan modifications to the homeowner. The success rate using Tila Solutions is greater than any other approach currently known.
Lets see how this rates against other common approaches taken.
Scenario One: You contact the bank, fax in the documents they request so that you can see if you qualify for a loan mod. Happily you go to work waiting to hear the results. The results are in: Youve just picked up a foreclosure notice on your door. And, there are letters claiming the bank never received your documents for a loan mod in your mailbox. The cost of the foreclosure is being added to your mortgage, and you are being told that you have so many days to cure the default or foreclosure will begin. You dont have the several thousand dollars to cure the default and you lose your home: 100% failure rate for a loan mod in this scenario. You never even had a fighting chance: You didnt have a Forensic Audit. You didnt have anybody to ensure the bank actually did their job.
Scenario Two: Youve done a good bit of research on the internet and learned that the banks are being accused all the time of fraud. In fact youve concluded they are fraudulent, disorganized, they mislead you and provide false hope. You cant help but feel betrayed and distrusting as you research and learn how they lose papers, constantly find fault with you, and have more ways to disqualify you than you ever imagined.
Thus you are “armed” for success. You contact the bank, put in your request for loan mod and repeatedly call and refax forms until you can no longer figure out how anything could ever be lost so often. With all this hard work, several months pass and finally you are approved for a loan mod, but the terms are completely unacceptable because you needed a lower monthly payment, and the bank rolled in escrows, and put all their fees to the back of the loan, and now you owe much more than the original loan. (and they say loan mod is free?) You wont be able to afford the payment for long.
But you had some success if you feel you can call it that: 2% – 10% success rate in this scenario. You are just stuck with what they gave you, and you never really had any negotiating power at all. A forensic Audit could have changed this for you.
Scenario Two A: Despite your terrific intentions, as described above, and while the bank is telling you that they have it all under control, you receive notice from the banks lawyers that they are suing you.
Foreclosure has begun. You call the bank back they tell you not to worry; they still “have your back” for loan mod, and reassure you that you dont need professional help. They (who are charging you for the lawsuit they have brought against you) are “concerned” that you may be paying a professional company to help you and the bank tries to deter you, soothingly convincing you that you can work directly with them. Sadly, you agree to be soothed by the group that is suing you and dont get professional help. A few weeks pass and you have been disqualified for a loan mod and the bank owns your home. 100% failure rate for loan mod in this scenario. Again, there just was no real fighting chance. The bank mislead you and worse yet they advised you to do things that did not protect you from foreclosure. What would have happened if you had had a forensic audit completed and had somebody who knows how to handle the banks working on your side?
Scenario Three: The Hamp Program. Youve been prequalified and you know you are going to make it. You make your three payments and you do all your paperwork. Somehow, the three months turns into 9 months, but you actually got the loan mod. 2% to 4% success rate.
Scenario Three A: Despite the above, somehow the bank found a way to take all that money from you and then disqualify you. You are now in foreclosure and worse still theyve identified all your “missed payments” as reason to go ahead and give you a auction date too. Now you find that you have two weeks until they auction off your home. 100% failure rate for a loan mod in this scenario.
Scenario Four: You hire an attorney and let him deal with it all. 25% to 50% success rate in this scenario. (Most attorneys do not use forensics sadder still they think forensic audits are not necessary. How incredulous is that: “No Mr. Homeowner, we dont need the laws of the land that have been passed since as far back as 1969 to protect you to get the bank to stop misleading, lying, and falsely advising you,” Mr. Attorney replied. Thats not even a fifty/fifty chance.
Scenario Five: You hire a loan mod company and let them deal with it all 25% to 50% success rate in this scenario. Same thing: No forensic audit. No leverage, no way to truly negotiate – only puppets of the bank.
Scenario Six: You learn there is a company that has the edge they do forensic loan audits. Then they negotiate new terms with your lender. The banks tell you those companies are scams, the attorneys tell you the same, and of course the loan mod companies tell you that you just need to qualify at the bank and they know how to “make” you qualify so again you dont need a forensic audit. Yet the people are losing their homes with these attorneys, banks, and or loan mod companies. Homeowners should always arm themselves and never lose sight of the fact that federal laws protect them. Lenders violated them. Attorneys dont always know those laws and thus cant work with them, loan mod companies only know how to “bash” those laws.
A Forensic audit is a very precise examination of the federal laws that guide lenders when issuing loans and protect homeowners from ending up on the road to foreclosure. If you are not using them, then your chance of success is dramatically decreased.
