The primary purpose of loan modifications is to assist distressed borrowers who are unable to meet their mortgage obligations. Therefore, a loan modification, as opposed to a refinancing, enables a servicer to change the terms of a loan to better enable the borrower to stay current or cure a loan without retiring the existing loan. Loans can be modified by extending the amortization terms, adding balloon payments, decreasing the mortgage rates, forgiving principal or interest payments, and extending the fixed-rate period of a hybrid ARM loan, among other things.
This means the lender will make changes to the original loan. Those can be changes to your interest rate, payment schedule, loan balance, late charges, length of loan, pre-payment penalties, the handling of past-due payments, and the like. You do not have to be behind in payments to negotiate a Loan Modification. |
