Many people who were on the outside looking in at the foreclosure crisis didn't understand that many peoples situations were seemingly made worse by attempting to rectify their situation with their banks. This is probably why Washington never came up with an adequate solution to the foreclosure crisis.
Consider the case of this homeowner- he had been fighting for a loan modification on his own for years prior to retaining us. Two years prior, he had lost his job and attempted to get a loan modification on his family's home, because he couldn't afford his mortgage payment, which was nearly $3500 each month. He was granted a pre-modification trial payment plan. He made the trial payments, but his bank, Wells Fargo, said he owed too much on the property for them to complete a loan modification. Afterward, Wells Fargo suggested that he try a modification again, but his house was actually sold via foreclosure auction when his modification documents did not arrive in time (the sale was rescinded afterward). By the time he retained us (April 2012) another sale date was already set on his house and he was tired of handling the situation on his own.
A home loan modification is a process in which the mortgage is modified outside of the original mortgage to new terms and agreements. The resulting mortgage usually results in lower monthly payments, but the new mortgage also commonly has longer terms and potentially higher interest. The overall effect of a loan modification is to make the monthly payments more affordable for the homeowner.
Although home loan modifications are viable solutions, many homeowners choose to pursue their own modification, which results in an unsuccessful home loan modification and the bank foreclosing on the home. On the other hand, the loan modification experts at Amerihope Alliance Legal Services are among the best and most effective in the industry at getting home loan modifications approved.
A trial loan modification is usually the next-to-last step for homeowners who have successfully applied for a loan modification. Lenders give homeowners trial loan modifications to test their ability to pay a mortgage payment under terms that have been optimized to fit a homeowners' financial situation. Trial loan modifications usually last for 3 months, and if all 3 payments are paid in full and on time, then the mortgage lender will begin the process of offering a permanent loan modification.
For most people, a trial loan modification is like a bridge into the "promised land" of financial stability. If they're able to successfully cross over that bridge after fighting to reach it for several months, then their financial lives will be in a much better position than before.
Remember 2005? 2006? Remember the commercials on TV, and radio and everywhere telling you about the “cash rewards” and “cash out” refinances? So many Americans took advantage of these programs. Business was great, real estate was better.
Our client Dale, like thousands of other Americans, took advantage of one of these programs, and received cash out of his mortgage (and a 9.75% interest rate!) when he refinanced with Countrywide. In 2008, the Bank of America/Countrywide merger meant that Dale now had to deal with Bank of America.

Many of the worst stories that have come from the mortgage crisis involve the casual ineptitude of large banks when it comes to loan modification. Thousands and thousands of foreclosures have resulted from this indiligence, and hundreds of thousands of people have had their lives negatively impacted as a result.
A New York woman approached us about her similar mortgage issues; she had been attempting to get a loan modification from Bank of America, but couldn't get any headway after trying for nearly two years. This homeowner was a single mother who had emerged from bankruptcy just a few years earlier; the last thing she needed was the dark cloud of foreclosure hanging over her head. However, her home could've been foreclosed on at any time; she was over 5 years and $162,000 behind on paying her $2,680 mortgage payment.
Many homeowners are investigating mortgage loan modification programs as an alternative to foreclosure and a way to stay in their homes. The Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) promoted by the U.S. Government aims to streamline the process but many homeowners are still unsure about where to start the loan modification process and how to give their modification application the best chance of approval. As a homeowner, preparation and knowledge will allow you to help your lender review your case thereby increasing your chances of success.
The arms of the banks have no idea what the legs are doing, and it's turning into one disastrous dance for American homeowners.
Thousands of homeowners have lost their homes, and many others are still struggling with their mortgages today because of this disconnect; a disconnect that causes many homeowners to lose their homes. Homeowners are being held back the most by the extreme lack of communication between various departments of mortgage lenders. For example, many people who had successfully received loan modifications from their lenders were illegally confronted with foreclosure after cementing the terms of their loan modifications.
One of our clients faced three foreclosure sale dates due to Green Tree Mortgage Servicing's disorganization, but our foreclosure defense lawyers intervened to force Green Tree mortgage to play by the rules. We enabled him to keep his home.

Many of our clients come to us after struggling with paying their mortgage for several years. That was the case with this couple. Unlike most of our other clients, though, they were nearly 5 years behind on paying their $2,600 monthly mortgage payment. During this half-decade, they had somehow avoided foreclosure, but they knew it wouldn't be too long until their lender, Bank of America, served them foreclosure papers. This couple had already been offered a loan modification once, but could not complete the terms of the offer.
That's when they retained (hired) us in late 2012. We understood the couples' commitment to saving their home, and began to work with them to get a loan modification. In early December 2012, Bank of America denied our initial request for a loan modification, saying that they didn't believe that the couple suffered through enough hardship. By the time January arrived, we were already working to resubmit the couples' loan modification package with more updated information. While we were in the information-gathering process; the husband lost his job; we had to update the couples' information package, and then had to resubmit all their information several times thereafter.
The United States has sent a clear message to loan modification scammers and perpetrators of mortgage fraud: we're coming to get you.
