A loan modification in a chapter 13 bankruptcy can be the answer to your mortgage payment problems. Are you unable to pay your mortgage because you can’t afford the payments, or because you’ve gotten behind on them and cannot afford to make them up while paying your mortgage? If so, a loan modification may be your only chance to save your home. Banks have made getting loan modifications rather difficult, but there is good news!
Our bankruptcy court in the Bay Area has a loan modification program for people in chapter 13 bankruptcy. This loan modification program is overseen by the bankruptcy court, so that lenders cannot get away with doing things like saying that they did not receive documents that you have already sent them, which happens in almost every loan modification attempt.
Even more important, this program has a much higher success rate than the rate for people who try loan modifications on their own. Applying for a loan modification in this program does not guarantee that you will get one — each case is different and these decisions are made individually — but it certainly increases your chances by quite a bit over the low success rate of people who try loan modifications on their own.
If you cannot afford your mortgage but want to save your home, contact a bankruptcy attorney today to ask about whether this loan modification program is right for you.
