Lender workout programs

Are you facing a home foreclosure? Have you tried to workout a solution with your current lender? Most lenders want your loans kept current and would prefer not to process a foreclosure. Many lenders are willing to offer what is called "lender workout" program. These programs allow borrowers time to catch up and get their payments back on track. Often times you can pay the amount that is in default over a designated period, this can range from one to several months, while at the same time avoiding the home foreclosure altogether. Lenders may also offer to re-write the loan and modify the terms to make the payments lower and still pay the default amount, this is often referred to as a "loan modification", while not all lenders offer this type of program, it is worth a shot. If you cannot avoid foreclosure and you have not other options, you can ask the lender if you can do a "Deed in Lieu", which gives the lender rights to the home, but will avoid foreclosure of the property and protect your credit more so then a foreclosure. These are all questions that you should be asking your lender if you have not already done so.

The lender may require you to supply them with current financial documentation, personal information and justification to make a determination. They are looking to make sure that you have the ability to pay them on time and that the financial hardship that you had is over. Situations where your financial setback has been cleared are the best candidates for these types of solutions. In many cases if your lender has reason to believe that this situation will present itself again within 6 months, they will likely continue the foreclosure proceedings
