Feldman Law Center – Loan Modifications – Important things you must be aware of

Feldman Law Center - News by Feldman Law Center — Let’s face it; times are tough for everyone these days. On the top of the list are homeowners struggling with their mortgage payments as well as other financial hardships. Most of the news heard lately about “mortgage relief” and “bailouts” does not appear to be helping homeowners facing default or foreclosure as we may have anticipated. The truth is, mortgage lenders don’t do loan modifications unless they are forced to, one way or another. To make matters worse loan modification companies offering stop foreclosure or loan modification services may be placing borrowers in worse situations by re-submitting all their financial information to the lender for a loan modification. In most cases these loan modifications are denied and now the lender has updated information that may even implicate the troubled homeowner in mortgage fraud. Many borrowers who bought or refinanced a home in the last three years used a Mortgage Broker who sold them an ARM or worse yet Option ARM loan while inflated home values and stated income allowed them to borrow more than the home was worth. Real estate agents, mortgage brokers, appraisers, loan officers, underwriters as well as bank executives made a killing in this market, and now we’re really feeling the effect. Most homeowners can’t refinance these days due to drastic property value declines, bank failures as well as financial hardships most are facing due to the “credit crunch” and our troubled economy.


So with all the lenders “smoke and mirrors” and bad news surrounding us what’s a troubled homeowner to do?

A loan modification seems to be the best option, as well as your only hope if you want to keep your home. Currently, one out of six homeowners nationwide is in default or foreclosure. Loan modification companies are coming out of nowhere boasting they are going to use TILA and RESPA violations to go after mortgage loan servicers and force them to modify your loan and reduce your principal balance. This just isn’t true. In matter of fact and loan modification company that is not a Law Office has absolutely NO leverage against your lender. Honestly, do you think a Loan Modification Company that offers you NO legal representation or a Loan Modification Attorney that offers a Loan Modification service is going to sue your lender? In addition, some attorneys out there would like you to believe a law suit is going to save your home. It may, but trust me; it’s going to cost a fortune. In some cases when a attorney can prove “predatory lending” or significant TILA or RESPA violations a simple phone call can get the job done. Borrowers need to be very careful these days in their approach with the lender. A lender does not have to modify your loan just because the property value dropped, that is not considered a hardship to them and they certainly don’t have to reduce the principal balance but they will in some cases. The Feldman Law Center is a Law Office that specializes in representing troubled homeowners imminent danger of losing their home, whether they are behind in their mortgage payments or not . Saving homes and offering sound legal advice is what we do, and we’re the best in the business. Troubled borrowers need proper representation with their lender, limiting our client’s exposure as well as fighting for the best possible loan modification is what we do best.


We are not here to milk our client’s for hefty retainers and leave them for dead, in matter of fact our fees are modest considering what you get with the Feldman Law Center. Our sophisticated approach drives proven results that save our clients homes. We have modified mortgages for lenders employees as well as many high level executives. We deal directly with the banks executives and not the minimum wage loss mitigation employees you will find on your own or with a loan modification company.

WARNING: Attorney based and assisted loan modification companies are NOT law offices and only offer “smoke and mirrors” as a means to get you to trust them. The Attorney Generals office as well as the Department of Real Estate simply cannot keep up with the loan modification companies operating illegally & unethically.

Important things you must be aware of:


1) Do not give any up front fees to loan modification or stop foreclosure companies boasting “attorney based”, “attorney backed” or “attorney assisted”!

2) Do not pay for a forensic loan audit unless it is performed by a Law Office, an attorney is the only person that may use lending violations as leverage!

3) Do not use a loan modification company unless they have an up front fee agreement approved by the DRE and offer a 100% money back guarantee!

4) Do not trust just anyone with your difficult situation; contact a Law Office and hire an attorney who specializes in Loan Modification and Loss Mitigation services!

There are many companies using the words “attorney”, “legal”, “lawyer” and so on. The bottom line is, these loan modification companies are wrongfully using this language unless they properly disclose they are NOT a Law Firm. Also, not to mention giving you advice that could cost you to lose your home and put your family on the street. Struggling homeowners need real help during these difficult times and not some ex- loan officer trying to get a fat commission or give them advice. The Feldman Law Center offers troubled borrowers real solutions and legal representation with creditors at a very reasonable flat fee.
