When completing a loan mod company with your lender, one of the items your lender will ask for during the Loan Workout process is a hardship letter.
What is a hardship letter?
A hardship letter is a written explanation as to what “event” has caused you to fall behind on your mortgage. This is your chance to explain to your lender exactly why you think you need to be given a modification. This letter is much like an outline or biography of your current “life” situation(s) that are affecting your ability to meet your mortgage payments. It is critical that you communicate, in your own words, exactly what has been going on that caused you to fall behind or about to fall behind. There is no reason to be shy when doing this.
When writing these letters be as to the point as possible and stress the key situations that have occurred. As banks have gone out of business, stopped lending, and increased foreclosures have the existing banks back logged in work. That is why these modifications take 60 to 90 days. Usually 1 or 2 pages are more than enough to get your point across. With a moderately sized, very concisely crafted Loan Workout hardship letter you can greatly increase your chances at getting approved for your loan workout and save your home from foreclosure by reducing your monthly payment.
