Irvine, California Loan Modification Attorneys
What Is a Loan Work-Out in California ?
A loan modification, otherwise known as a loan work-out, is a process by which your mortgage lender agrees to change or “modify” the terms of your existing mortgage, allowing you to continue or resume making payments on the loan and helping you avoid losing your home through foreclosure.
Modifications can result in one or more of the following ways:
- Reduction of interest rate
- Extension of loan term, such as extending a 30-year mortgage to a 40-year term
- Converting an interest only or adjustable rate mortgage into a fixed, principle and interest payment
- Capitalizing the delinquent amount that you owe onto the balance of your mortgage
- Reduction or deferment of your principle loan balance

What Can Financial Relief Law Center, APC Do Differently?
Regulatory Complaints
One tool we utilize is to file a consumer regulatory complaint with the appropriate regulator to escalate the file review. This is a key tactic when consumers experience unwarranted or unnecessary difficulty in attempting to work with their mortgage servicer for a modification.
Our basis for regulatory complaints include the following issues:
- Servicer claim to not receive the homeowner’s modification application
- Lack of communication and response from the servicer and case representative
- Perpetual review processes without progress or meaningful updates
- Lack of knowledge or competence by servicer representative
- Misrepresentations made by the servicers
- Negligence in handling a homeowner’s modification request
- Failure to comply with MHA guidelines
- Failure to exhaust non-foreclosure options prior to foreclosing
Having a knowledgeable attorney who can effectively identify these issues and leverage them to your lender, servicer, and regulator can make the difference between losing your home and obtaining an affordable mortgage payment and sense of security for your family’s future.
