Call Customer Service First To Try And Get A Loan Modification

If you are trying to get your mortgage modified, your first call should be to your lender.  Most lenders have loan work or loss mitigation departments to deal with the pre foreclosure homes.  You will most likely need to provide information on your financial wherewithal.  If you do not have any income, you will probably not be able to get your loan modified.  You have to be abel to demonstrate that you will be even able to handle the new payment that can be worked out for you.  You may have to give your lender your tax returns, pay stubs and financial statements to be even considered for a loan modificaiton.

Should I Hire A Loan Modification Attorney?

I have seen law firms starting to advertising for loan modifications.  The truth is that you can probably do a loan mod yourself without an attorney.  If you feel more comfortable using an attorney to handle the modification , I would not try to talk you out of it.  You have nothing to loose to try and do it yourself first however.
