What Are Loan Modifications?

A loan modification is an agreement with your mortgage lender to change the terms of your existing loan. It’s different from refinancing, which replaces your existing loan. It’s also a long-term solution, unlike forbearance. 

Obtaining a loan modification offers you several benefits if you are struggling financially and you’re need to find a way to keep your home. Depending on the terms that you are able to achieve, you may:

• Get cheaper monthly payments
• Get a lower interest rate, or convert from a variable to a fixed interest rate (or both)
• Get the principal amount on your mortgage reduced 
• Get more time to make mortgage payments or pay off your mortgage 
• Get rid of late fees
• And more. 

What type of loan modification offer you should apply for depends on your specific financial situation. At The Law Office of Patel & Cardenas, our attorneys will take the time to get to know your circumstances and explain your options so you can feel confident in the journey ahead! 

Why Should You Work With Our Freehold Loan Modification Lawyers?

Lenders don’t have any legal/contractual obligation to accept your loan modification request, and they don’t necessarily have a financial motive to either. Because of that, you have a better chance at getting your application approved when you have legal representation on your side. Our Freehold loan modification lawyers know how to prove hardship and present your case in the best light! 

We will handle the complex application process and all the paperwork for you, prevent mistakes, and communicate and negotiate with the appropriate parties on your behalf. If your rights are infringed upon at any point, we’re not afraid (unlike many law firms, who only deal with paperwork) to sue and take your case to court if necessary. We understand that when finances and law intersect, things can get confusing, so you can count on us to make sure you understand exactly how a loan modification will impact your everyday life and budget. If your request is denied, we can file an appeal or use other measures to rescue your home from the possibility of foreclosure.

In New Jersey, there are many scammers that promise great loan modification terms and who may seem cheaper than hiring an attorney, but who are actually not authorized to act under the Debt Adjustor Act.
