Challenges you may face when submitting your loan modification request
When you contact Countrywide, you may initially be directed to the collection department. This department will not help you with a workout agreement. They will just try and collect on the past due payments. You want to contact the Loss Mitigation Department that processes loan modification requests. Don’t let them redirect you to another department or retention option.
Countrywide calls their loss mitigation department the Countrywide Hope Department. The contact number is 800-222-9944.
If the lender gives you grief use three little words to fight foreclosure
If you are getting frustrated in dealing with your mortgage company or their servicing company and you need to buy some more time if the NOD has been filed, there is a little known method an attorney has shared with the public that delays the foreclosure proceedings.
It involves using three little words, namely, “produce the note,” to your lender or servicer. Asking them to “produce the note,” requires the lender to prove it has the actual authority to foreclose, by requiring it to officially produce the original promissory note in the lawsuit.
If you live in a “nonjudicial foreclosure” state, such as California, Texas, or the thirty or more other states with similar procedures, you can still use this strategy. The homeowner has to file a lawsuit against the party trying to foreclose.
