      <title>Beware of Loan Modification Scams!</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Tips to Avoid Foreclosure Rescue and Loan Modification Scams</p><p>Rancho Cucamonga, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/07/2009 --   Given the current state of the economy and the rising unemployment rate, many homeowners are facing financial distress and foreclosure.  For these homeowners, struggling to make their mortgage payments, the optimal way to save their home is to work out a mutually beneficial payment plan with their lender, or to revise the terms of their original loan agreement in order to make more manageable monthly payments.  Unfortunately, banks and lenders have been overwhelmed with loan modification requests and are very difficult to work with. <br />
<br />
This crisis has created an entire market of scammers and fly-by-night modification companies who promise to stop foreclosure and save homes.  While seeking assistance is often necessary, homeowners need to be beware of these "companies."  The following is a list of tips to avoid foreclosure rescue/loan modification scams:<br />
<br />
1) Beware of companies that charge all their fees up front and offer no money back guarantees. Some companies charge upwards of $7500 upfront to do a loan modification, and keep all that money even if they are unable to do anything.  It&apos;s therefore important to look for a company that offers a money-back guarantee or other payment alternatives, and if they do collect fees upfront, an enquiry should be made on where those fees are going. <br />
2) Beware of companies that are not law firms. Attorneys are regulated by state bar associations and risk losing their licenses if they are engaged in scams.  A homeowner has no recourse against non-legal modification services.  To make sure it is a law firm, he or she should ask for an attorney&apos;s license number and do the required research.<br />
3) Beware of companies that do not have an office or are unable to meet in person.  Full verification is necessary regarding whether the company has a physical office and makes an appointment to meet in person before anything else.<br />
4) Beware of companies that sound too good to be true. Any company that makes promises and guarantees as to an outcome is just telling what he or she wants to hear in order to get money. It&apos;s worth remembering that there is a third party involved (your lender) who makes the final decision.<br />
5) Beware of companies that tell you to make your mortgage payments to them instead of to your lender.  Many companies claim that they will be putting their fees towards mortgage payments.  This is not usually the case, and one should get the lender&apos;s approval before agreeing to this.<br />
<br />
The Stone Haven Law Group is, therefore, a reputable law firm specializing in the field of loan modifications and bankruptcy law.  To speak with an attorney regarding home and mortgage, contact Stone Haven Law Group at 909 457 8200, or a must visit is necessary at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.stonehavenlaw.com" href="http://www.stonehavenlaw.com">http://www.stonehavenlaw.com</a>.<br />

      <title>Making Home Affordable Plan - How Does It Work, and Will It Help?</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">A program initiated by Obama Administration</p><p>Rancho Cucamonga, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/06/2009 --   Many hardworking homeowners are struggling to make their monthly mortgage payments, and are sincerely trying to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with their lenders for the chance to not only stay in their homes but to pay lenders the money owed to them.  Unfortunately, today&apos;s economic conditions make reaching to  such an agreement, a very daunting task. Jaded by the promises of fly-by-night loan modification companies, and confused by the explanations of attorneys trying to sell their services, many homeowners are left in the dark about the mortgage options available to them.  Yet one very solid option that each borrower and lender should at least consider is the Making Home Affordable (MHA) Plan. It has been proven from personal experiences that this program  has successfully helped homeowners stay in their homes.  <br />
<br />
The Making Home Affordable Plan is a program created by the Obama Administration, and it is aimed at keeping millions of responsible families in their homes.  It provides incentives to qualifying lenders, encouraging them to work out loan modifications and refinancing for homeowners instead of opting for foreclosures.  It also provides incentives for qualifying borrowers, encouraging them to stay as current on their mortgage payments as possible. The Making Home Affordable Program has a refinance program (Home Affordable Refinance) and a loan modification program (Home Affordable Modification). The MHA also has a Second Lien Program, which works to reduce second mortgages in addition to first mortgages. <br />
<br />
How does Making Home Affordable work? There are many aspects to MHA, but one key feature is the incentives it provides to both lenders and borrowers.  The Treasury helps lenders/investors and servicers reduce homeowners&apos; monthly mortgages. First, lenders must reduce mortgage payments to 38% of a homeowner&apos;s monthly income.  Then, the Treasury matches the lender&apos;s additional reductions dollar for dollar until the mortgage payment reaches 31% of the borrower&apos;s monthly income. The Treasury also encourages homeowners to stay current on the monthly mortgages. Borrowers can receive a "Pay-for-Performance Success Payment" which gives the borrower $1,000 each year for up to five years, as long as the borrower is current on their monthly payments.  This money goes toward reducing the principal. <br />
<br />
How to qualify for Making Home Affordable Plan? <br />
<br />
Some general preliminary qualifications include the following: The loan must have originated before January 1, 2009 and must be owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Borrowers must be owners who occupy the property, and the unpaid balance on the property cannot exceed $729,750 (for one to four unit properties). The borrower&apos;s mortgage payments must exceed 31% of their gross monthly income and the borrower must be experiencing economic hardship. Detailed program guidelines can be found on the Making Home Affordable website at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://makinghomeaffordable.gov/" href="http://makinghomeaffordable.gov/">http://makinghomeaffordable.gov/</a><br />

      <title>Homeowner's Options When Facing Foreclosure</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Measures to Avoid Foreclosures</p><p>Rancho Cucamonga, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/30/2009 --   RealtyTrac&apos;s annual U.S. Foreclosure Market Report for 2008 indicates that 2,330,483 properties nationwide entered some stage of foreclosure.  This would amount to an 81 percent increase from 2007 and 225 percent higher than the total number in 2006. The statistics for 2009 are looking even steeper, and there are no signs of relief in the near future.  <br />
<br />
With these unfortunate statistics, homeowners need to know their legal rights and options.<br />
<br />
If a person is struggling to make home payments and may be facing foreclosure, the most obvious way to save his or her home, is to work out a mutually beneficial payment plan with your lender, or to revise the terms of original loan agreement in order to make manageable mortgage payments to the lender. <br />
<br />
Loan modifications can be done whether or not a person is behind in the loan payments, based on his or her financial situation, current hardship, and ability to make smaller payments.  <br />
<br />
Additionally, there are a number of state and federal laws in place that are meant to protect borrowers from engaging in unfair lending practices. Unfortunately, many borrowers are unaware that they have been the victims of predatory lending practices. The best way to determine whether or not a person have been the victim of predatory lending is to have a forensic loan audit done on your original loan documents. <br />
<br />
If someone have been a victim of predatory lending, he or she may have the right to file a lawsuit against the lender and to put a stop to the foreclosure process for the duration of the suit. When combined with a loan modification, predatory lending violations provide leverage to homeowners in their negotiations with the lenders as well.<br />
<br />
Finally, if a person is finding it difficult to make your monthly mortgage payments because he or she is drowning in additional debt, and he or she may not even be able to make a modified payment amount, bankruptcy may be the best option. Bankruptcy not only puts an immediate stop on the foreclosure process, but it also gives the opportunity to start fresh on the finances.<br />
