Mortgage Forbearance
2009-10-01 12:45:00
Mortgage forbearance is a financing option available to qualified borrowers who become delinquent on their home mortgage loan. Lenders enter into forbearance agreements to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. The only "catch" is borrowers must provide evidence they possess the financial means to cure mortgage arrearages and remain current on future mortgage payments. Once a mortgage forbearance agreement is in place, lenders cannot proceed with foreclosure action unless borrowers default on their repayment plan. In most cases, borrowers work with their lender's loss mitigation department to obtain approval for extending mortgage payments
