Don't make these loan modification mistakes!
A loan modification application is processed and assessed by a lender. You may think that you have no control over the outcome, but in reality, you do. It's your duty to do everything you can to present your case in the best possible fashion. In this article, we will look at a few things you can do to make the process easier and that will increase your chances of success.
When you suspect that you may get in trouble with your mortgage payments, contact your bank. It's never a good idea to sit passively and wait until problems arrive on your doorstep. Even if you don't feel like speaking to the bank, get over it and try to work out a solution. Most lenders will be glad that you came in time while there are still many solutions possible. This will only get harder when you start getting behind on your mortgage.
Always make sure to study approval guidelines before submitting the paperwork. If you don't even take the time to go through the approval guidelines before preparing your paperwork, why should a lender sort out your mess. He won't and your application will be denied.
Also, don't try to offer a ridiculously low payment when negotiating with your bank. A bank will try to help you out, but only when they see that you are willing to be reasonable. Work out a solution that's fair to you and to the bank.
Do not try to lie about your income or assets. If the bank finds out (and there's a pretty serious chance they will), you'll get in trouble. This is a prime cause of denial, so don't underestimate the consequences of omitting information. Your bank has quite a bit of information they can use, so trying to keep something from them is likely to fail.
Take the time to complete your loan modification application properly. This preparation will increase your chances of acceptance greatly and is most efficient for everyone involved. Just make sure you make a reasonable offer and there is a good chance your loan modification will be approved.
