My loan modification Week 5 – I hope Great Benefit Life isn’t handling the paperwork!

Temecula Real Estate – HAMP Loan Modification an inside view – Week 4

Even though the total number of active permanent modifications has risen to more than 340,000, the frightening number is there are 3,180,615 loans eligible for loan modification. Only a little more than 11% of eligible loans have been modified.
