Loan Modification Hell – Will President Obama Force Lenders To Modify More Loans?

According to news reports, tomorrow (Monday, Nov 30, 2009), the Administration will announce a plan to force lenders to do more loan modifications, and to make more of the trial loan modifications permanent. We’ll see how this works out.

I have to say, the entire loan modification program has been a disaster. It’s rife with problems and there are hundreds of thousands of people who have been hurt financially and credit-wise.

From what I’ve read so far, Treasury plans to pressure lenders by embarrassing them publicly. I hope they have a better plan than that.

Are You In Loan Modification Hell? Here’s How To Find The Company CEO

If you’re in loan modification hell, you need to write a letter to the CEO or president of your loan servicing company or mortgage lender. Write a letter like this one and send it to the CEO.

Here’s how to find the CEO of your mortgage lender:

Go to Yahoo Finance and click on the investing button at the top. When you get to the investing home page, find the search box and type in the name of the company in the “Get Quotes” search box.

On the left navigation (blue bar on the left side of the page) look for Company and then choose profile.

Under Profile will be the company headquarters. Middle of the page, on the right, will be Key Executives. You should address your letter to the President and CEO of the company.

Send your letter overnight, or some way you can get a return receipt. Let me know what happens.
