Isn't it funny how we didn't hear much from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and even HUD during the 2004-early 2007 - and now they are in the headlines almost daily!  Folks, they are here to stay this time.....youTube style! Click in on it and see how the information can be useful.

Well Freddie Mac has some valuable information that can help the "underwater" borrower/homeowner find their way to communicate better with their mortgage servicer when they make that call in an attempt to save their home from foreclosure:

If you are or you know someone that is a Late-Pay Borrower, Underwater, pre-foreclosure procedure tell them about this quick little video that can be of benefit to them.  Key documents that borrowers should have on hand to help reduce the frustration of having to reduce repeated call, delays and possibly missing the opportunity to take advantage of the options that could be possible for them.  The new Freddie Mac video, "Stop Foreclosure: Documents Your Lender Needs to Help You,"  Click here. It shows step-by-step which documents borrowers should have on hand when they call their servicer. These documents can cut the time a servicer will need to understand the borrower's situation, determine his or her eligibility for a workout, and process the application.

This video will point out that the following documents/information will be necessary for your Mortgage servicer to have - so get them ready and them on hand when you are talking to them:

  • Their most recent monthly mortgage statement
  • Pay stubs or other documents showing their household's monthly pre-tax income
  • Most recent tax return
  • Second loan or home equity line of credit statements
  • Account balances and minimum monthly payments on credit cards, car loans, student loans or other debt.
  • A short, concise description of the financial hardship that is causing - or leading to - a mortgage delinquency.
  • These documents are also required if you are planning on doing a short sale.

    John - no it hasn't but you would be surprised how many homeowners still do not have their paperwork together and some never are able to pull it together!

    Until the banks change their process, it will be the same.
