Forbearance
What is Forbearance?
Forbearance is not a loan modification. Forbearance is a repayment plan. Forbearance is a special agreement between the lender and the borrower to delay a foreclosure. Often, a lender will make a forbearance agreement instead of a Foreclosure when a borrower is facing a unique and temporary financial problem. According to this agreement, the lender delays their right to foreclose to allow the borrower the chance to catch up with their mortgage payments. The terms of forbearance agreements vary among borrowers and lenders. Forbearance agreements are one of several options offered by Foreclosure-Shield.com.What is Loan Modification? Loan modification is a service whereby a homeowner's mortgage is modified and both lender and homeowner are bound by the new terms. The most common modifications are a lowering of the interest rate, reducing the principal balance, 'fixing' adjustable interest rates, increasing the loan term, forgiveness of payment defaults & fees, or any combination of these. Foreclosure-Shield.com’s Loan Modification specialists can help you determine the best modification option for your unique situation.Will my Lender Modify My Loan? Your lender should work with you but they are not obligated to do so. Our clients have had very poor results when dealing with their lenders directly. Many times they turn to Foreclosure-Shield.com because they have reached a dead end when negotiating a loan modification on their own. Plus, you may be leaving money on the table if you attempt to modify the loan yourself. Why would you settle for a loan that is modified from a 9% interest rate to a 7% interest rate when you can just as easily qualify for a 4% interest rate? The difference between 7% and 4% can equal thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
