Caution!!! You are working with a bank not someone that has compassion and cares about you and your personal situation. Its about return on investment! When will you be sending them there money? They will often ask…if you don’t have the money who can you borrow it from? They don’t care about if you have food on the table or not! The sooner you believe and understand this the better you will be prepared for whats to come.
I talk to people daily that have been fighting a battle with the lender over getting a loan modification. Many that have chosen to take on this task of getting a loan modification have since realized how much the bank really doesn’t care about your personal problems. Many times homeowners cannot get help until they are at least 30 days past due on their mortgage. Regardless of the circumstances, even if you have a letter from your employer stating your going to be unemployed in the next 45 days…. you would not get any assistance until you’re 30 days late.
So the whole time were trying to do things right only to find out it doesn’t make a difference!
You need to do what’s best for you and your family and take control over your financial future and not worry about the bank!
