Not being able to make your mortgage payment can very stressful and emotional. Whether you are living alone or have a family, your house is your home and it is a scary prospect to think you may lose it.

What is a home loan modification?

Loan modifications are reductions in payment by your lender saving the lender the cost and hassle of a foreclosure sale of your home. James A.
