Loss Mitigation Lender List

People call or email regularly looking for contact information for someone to help with their mortgage. The best source for help is your existing lender. The second best source is your existing servicer. Do not fall victim to the scam artists out their preying on people who need a loan modification or help with their mortgage. I don’t care if they are a big name attorney with dozens of initials after their name – it’s up to the lender whether or not they will modify and they have a school bus full of attorneys just looking to get in the ring with a firm with a big name.

Do what you can for yourself first. Be insistent that you do not have any late or negative information reported on your credit because regardless of what anyone tells you just one late payment or a negative comment on your credit can hurt, maim or destroy your credit. At least for a year or more. Late payments can and probably will prevent you from doing anything else in the mortgage area for the next 12 months. Forbearances can help but make sure the lender commits in writing to not report you as paying late. I have seen forbearances show up as “rolling lates”. In other words late every month during the forebearance period. This is bad for you.

Read the full article for the list of lenders and contact information for their loss mitigation department. And remember, if someone who does not work for the lender calls their self a loss mitigator be very VERY cautious of everything else that comes out of their mouth.

The Closing Agent (Attorney) Represents The …

… lender.

Ouch. I know most people really do not know this especially sellers and buyers it seems. The closing agent’s fiduciary (not pronounced fudooshree as I hear so often) responsibility is to the lender to make sure all of the documents are fully executed in the right manner and that the necessary recordings are performed to make the exchange legal. Not all states have the same rules and regulations and I’m definitely writing from my own little world but all states have regulations and it is the closing agent’s job to be intimately familiar with them.
