I heard on a loan modification you can delete the second mortgage if you have a firts and a second. Is the true?

That is untrue because the trust deed who holds the 2nd position of your property wants to get what they can from you. The 2nd trust deed can not foreclosue on your house, unless the 1st trust deed is in default.

Is it better for me to paid a special loan modification company to handle the loan modification from my existing lender or sure I just try to work with my lender on a loan modification.

I have a 3o year fixed rate at 9%. I used to have good credit but when I refinanced I went through Ameriquest. Now Citibank owns the loan..I believe ameriquest no longer exist. I did not even know that citibank was going to be my lender. Will I qualify for a modification of my loan..I cannot afford what I am paying now. Due to the housing marker I pulled money out of the equity I had in my house and I refinanced. But now my house is not worth what it was in the past and I owe more money than what my house is worth. I was told that only option arms qualify for loan modifications is this true?

I need to know if I can get a second loan modification with my lender. I obtained one in July of this year but my income at work was reduced again and fell behind 3 payments trying to get everything else on track and with 4 kids it has been challenging. I know I can continue paying the woked out payment from July but what can I do about the 3 accumulated payments. I tried working this out with lender but they said they did not know what will happend. What can i do?

Joua, it’s always better to simply work with your lender on the loan modification yourself and save yourself money! Check out loansafe.org and click on your lender; there’s a lot of good information there. If you do need a great loan modification company, Fransen & Molinaro are highly recommended on this site.

A modification was completed by a company in Jan.09 was told the first & second loans were together. That one payment per month to first lender was to be paid and second had been placed on back end of loan.Was recently contacted by collection agency for payment of second lender.My monthly note is now the same as it was before getting the modification however my annual property taxes are now included in my monthly payment.Will a second modification be allowed?

To the person who had a fixed rate loan at 9%, have you ever thought about refinancing as an option to saving money on your mortgage payments? Even with a bad credit history you should be able to do better than 9% in with interest rates as low as they are.

i am current on my mtg. wanted to refi to pay off mounting debt, but value of home has fallen. current loan is a conventional adj. rate (matures in 5yrs) not fannie or freddie. other dept has exausted all savings. Do I have a shot at modification? can I attempt to contact my lender myself ? (3rd parties are charging very very high fees to help me w/ a modification.)
