The Potential Disadvantages of Loan Modification

While mortgage loan modifications can seem tempting, homeowners should be aware that such modifications can actually do more harm than good. To help you understand, our Chicago loan modification lawyers have listed some possible disadvantages below:

  • Negatively affected credit score: 
    A loan modification has the potential to have little or no effect on a borrower’s credit score. In fact, the report may only show that the loan was modified, but this depends on how the lender reports the modification to the credit bureau. However, it is important to note that if the borrower missed payments, these missed payments will still affect the borrower’s credit score negatively.
  • Processing expenses: 
    Oftentimes, borrowers find that there are costly fees involved with completing a loan modification. In most cases, the lender is able to add these fees to the principle of the loan; however, this is not always the case. Late charges and other fees that a borrower has incurred during the modification will also need to be paid as well.
  • Still Potential to Lose Home: 
    Because loan modifications are designed to help homeowners facing a temporary hardship, there is an expectation that the borrower will move past the difficult financial situation and resume regular mortgage payments as they had before the hardship. However, many homeowners find that after moving through the modification process, they are back in the position of being unable to make payments. In many cases, this leaves homeowner borrowers in the same position, potential foreclosure due to mortgage payment delinquency.
