Distressed Homeowners Don't Get Scammed

Distressed Homeowners Don"t Get Scammed

Beware of organizations offering 'Forensic Loan Audits". They are targeting struggling home owners looking for loan modifications. These companies link them selves to attorneys and auditor organizations charging upfront fee's of $3,000. promising to get a quick loan modification or a reduction on your mortgage. If you are approached by ANYONE making these promises and they want money upfront, RUN..... they are out to scam you!

Facts:

  • Your lender is the only one who can modify your loan.
  • Your lender does not charge for a modification
  • Modifications if they do happen DO NOT happen over night. It could take 6-12+ months.
  • Most modification are unsuccessful because it's cheaper for the bank to foreclose than to modify the loan.
