Are you aware of the differences between a Total Mortgage Reset and a Loan Modification? Perhaps it would be easier to approach it from the perspective of similarities; they are similar in that they are both a negotiation, but that is where the similarities end. The problem for the homeowner in regards to loan modification negotiations is that the bank holds the upper hand due to the fact that there is nothing in any of the mortgage paperwork that states lenders are obligated to negotiate with the homeowner. Obviously, the outcome of negotiations will always favor the party that has the upper hand.
However, due to numerous precedence setting legal cases that have gone in the favor of the homeowner, homeowners now have the ability to negotiate with the upper hand. Below are just some of the differences between a Total Mortgage Reset Negotiation with Homeowner Protection Group vs. A Loan Modification Negotiation with your typical Loan Modification Firm.
Loan Modification via Loan Modification Firm | Total Mortgage Reset With Homeowner Protection Group |
Lenders have mastered the Pretend and Extend game prolonging the outcome for months and months for seemingly no reason | By law, lenders must respond and work on a resolution within 60-90 days |
Any loan modification will almost always be done according to the lenders best interest | The threat of litigation will result in much more favorable outcomes for the homeowner |
Principal reductions are extremely rare with loan modifications | HPG guarantees a minimum 10% principal reduction on accepted cases or 100% of fees will be returned |
Lender will require homeowner to defend and disclose every aspect of their financial life | Lenders are required to defend their business practices; giving the homeowner the upper hand |
Even with a successful modification a majority of homeowners will still be upside down (owe more than that property’s value) | HPG negotiates principal balance in such a way so that the overwhelming majority of clients who are currently upside down will have a new loan balance that is equal to or below appraised value |
The proof of financial hardship is an absolute necessity with any loan modification | Financial hardship does not necessarily need to exist |
In most cases a loan modification will lower your mortgage payment for the agreed upon fee and nothing more | HPG will negotiate rate, term, and principal balance of the homeowner’s mortgage and in addition (through business partnerships) will address and repair homeowner’s credit, negotiate unsecured debt, help increase the homeowners chances of finding work through career training if needed, (this is called The Full Circle Package) and much more (including the possibility of claim damage awards paid to the homeowner!) for one flat fee |
If the lender refuses to negotiate a workout that truly helps the homeowner, the loan modification is dead | If a stale mate is reached HPG’s investors will make a cash offer to the lender to buy out the note, or a qualified member of the attorney network will take the lender to court to prosecute found violations at no additional cost to the homeowner beyond filing fees |
Throughout the process to obtain a loan modification the homeowner is at the lender’s mercy | When violations are found, the homeowner is in the position of power |
Modifications can take 6-8 months or more | A majority of HPG’s cases will be resolved in as little as 60-90 days |
Arrearages may or may not be eliminated (in most cases they are moved to the back of the loan) | Arrearages are completely eliminated in addition to a guaranteed minimum 10% principal reduction |
Will every loan we see contain violations and qualify for a total mortgage reset through Homeowner Protection Group attorney network? Absolutely not, but HPG will do the preliminary analysis on any mortgage loan with No Cost or Obligation to the Homeowner.
