Home Affordability Modification Program (HAMP) ends this year. Don't miss out.

From Freddie Mac:

Extensions for HAMP and the Freddie Mac Streamlined Modification Among the Highlights in Guide Bulletin 2015-9
We are making several updates reflected in Freddie Mac Guide Bulletin 2015-9, including the following key highlights:
  • A one-year extension of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). As a result of previous announcements made by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Housing Finance Agency to extend HAMP, we have updated Section C65.4 of the Guide to require that all HAMP modifications have a Modification Effective Date on or before September 1, 2017, and that all evaluations for HAMP must be based on a complete Borrower Response Package submitted on or before December 31, 2016.
My Comment: I know this is only June, but sometimes to submit a package for a modification and allow time for the package to be worked can take months.  If the package sits on someone's desk and they do not get around to until your check stub or bank statement is  older than 30 days, they ask for new documents.  If the documents are not current, then they do not have a Borrower Response Package.

If you need help, don't wait!

My name is Rod Williams and I am a HUD approved housing counselor. There is no cost for my services. Many people who apply for a modification don't get it because they fail to complete a package correctly.  I can increase your chance of getting a modification.  Also, sometimes a modification is not the best option. If you have a housing problem, don't try to solve it by yourself. Call me at 615-850-3453.
