Lender Loan Modification Scams-First and foremost, when you are considering a Loan or Mortgage
modification , beware of companies that advertise their ability to lower your rates, payments or principle balance for fee or commission. In fact the Federal Trade Commission states: "People facing foreclosure should avoid any company or individual that requires a fee in advance, guarantees to stop a foreclosure or modify a loan or advises the homeowner to sop paying the loan or mortgage company." Never pay upfront fees for this type of service!
So what else should you watch out for? You should watch out for companies that use words like "Federal" or Government" in their names but are NOT affiliated with the government.
Distressed homeowners that are looking for home foreclosure alternatives must also be cautious because not only is your pocket book on the line but so is the short time you have to avoid foreclosure. For example: You may find that even a ligitimate Loan or Mortgage Modification is not the right option for you because the new loan terms are still out of reach. If you want to avoid foreclosure you may find a short sale is your best option but time is ticking so you must get educated quickely!
