What We Do For You
We start working for you from the initial call. We will prepare and analyze your data and begin to structure a strategic plan that best fits your needs. We will negotiate with the lender to stop your foreclosure and attempt to modify your loan to an affordable and comfortable payment. Working with the lenders can be a major problem as many of us have discovered over the last number of years. Consumer Lawyers of America has a very good track record when performing a Loan Modification, Short Sale or providing Foreclosure Defense.
Here are some of the extra solutions we'll pursue for you...
Reinstatement
The Reinstatement amount is the total amount that is past due including late fees and Attorney costs. This amount is what is required to bring your Mortgage current. Because of your financial circumstances in the past, you may be facing a sizable amount of past-due fees, including back payments, late fees and legal expenses. If you are able to pay the total in full to bring your payments to current status by a specific date, you may be eligible for a Reinstatement plan. A Reinstatement will offer you the quickest method for resolving your mortgage foreclosure. With your foreclosure resolved you can enjoy the security of your home.
Repayment Plan
The most common way of resolving a loan default is to work out a plan which will let you repay part of the delinquency each month, along with you regular monthly installment. Most of our clients will be eligible for a Repayment Plan for the amount they are delinquent if their financial circumstances have stabilized. Most of our clients have realized a short term financial hardship that has caused them to become delinquent. They are now financially back on their feet and need help getting caught up. We will negotiate with your lender to re-distribute your past-due amount over a set period of time, usually 18-24 months, depending on your circumstances.
Loan Forbearance
Some of our clients are eligible for Forbearance, which will give you time to gather your assets. In a Forbearance plan, you are allowed to delay or reduce payments for a short period, with the understanding that another option will be used at the close of that time to bring your account to a current status. Your lender (if in agreement) will then temporarily cease legal actions.
Deed-in-lieu of Foreclosure
The deed in lieu of foreclosure offers several advantages to both the borrower and the lender. The principle advantage to the borrower is that it immediately releases him from most or all of the personal indebtedness associated with the defaulted loan. Basically, you forfeit all rights to the property and the property will be conveyed to the lien holder. In exchange for the deed-in-lieu, the lender may waiver all deficiency judgment rights.
The borrower also avoids the public notoriety of a foreclosure proceeding and may receive more generous terms than he would in a formal foreclosure. |
