Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | Special Forbearance Agreement / Deferral of Loan Payments After working with a negotiator directly for a month (the office of the President referred me to negotiator), I received today the "Special Forbearance Agreement". The negotiator told me that this is a best that the supervisor and investor will agree to, because if my loan is modified they think I will not be able to keep up (if modified down to my target of 2.5% my monthly payment will be down $600, but together with escrow payment it will be $300 more than my current loan payment without escrow). In the next three months, during the "Deferred Payment Period", I will agree to pay about $600 less than my current payments. On Dec. 1, BAC Home Loans Servicing (read BoFA) will decide in its "sole and absolute discretion, either (1) you will be required to recommence your regularly scheduled payments and to make an additional payment, on terms to be determined by BAC , on or before the first of each month commencing on Dec. 1 until all past due amounts owed to BAC have been paid in full, or (2) you will be required to reinstate your Loan in full, or (3) BAC will offer to modify your Loan or will offer you some other form of payment assistance, on terms to be determined solely by BAC and/or the investors or insurers on your Loan. In any event, late charges will not be assessed during the Deferred Payment Period." MY QUESTION IS - do I really stand a chance in three months to permanently modify my loan, or this is just a BoFA trick to get rid of me? Thanks guys! |

I would use that time to try and increase income or decrease expenses (look over lowering car insurance, homeowner's insurance, property taxes, anything you can use to trim your budget). I may be in this same situation, I likely won't hear anything for another week |

I have called Bank of America several times today and cannot get a straight answer from anyone. I am also with NACA. I tried calling them also, but their policies changed this morning. They are no longer allowed to go over documents with you. You have to wait for a negotiator to contact you. I am conflicted on signing this document because I don't know that I can make the "normal" pymts after the 3 month period. |

Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | Re: Special Forbearance Agreement / Deferral of Loan Payments i think maybe this is a new thing they're doing to buy time if you go through office of the president. it seems like the office of the president is all b.s., created to fool and distract us all, like a puppet with no real power. i got the same thing and had completed my 3 months forbearance payment. after my last payment was received, i had called them (OOP, advocacy, home retention...)a gazillion time and never get a straight answer to what they are gonna do or planning to do. it's like my file is sitting in the twilight zone "under review", while i already completed to the 3 months trial. of course, conveniently, i got switch to a new negotiator. if i did not call many times, i would not have found out. and of course, can not get hold of the negotiator, new or old. i really don't know what those people are doing over there at the "negotiating dept". like someone had mentioned in this forum, i'm beginning to imagine a dark room, like a "sweat shop", with the negotiators crammed in...oh well, will keep fighting for my home, trying to cancel the sale date that's coming up in a few days, again. will let u guys know. stressedout in CA |

Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | Re: Special Forbearance Agreement / Deferral of Loan Payments Has anyone had any success with getting a mod after the 3 month forbearance? We were just put on one and I am VERY worried that once the 3 months has passed they are going to screw me into bigger payments again....my negotiator said that the 3 month trial is to see if we can afford the lower payments..then we will move on to a permanent modification. Please let me know! |

I talked to a guy in Advocacy yesterday and he said they will try to get us a payment similar to the payment in the forbearance, if we can handle making the payments. I'm leaning toward signing the docs because I don't feel we have any other choice. I am curious also, to see if anyone has actually been given a mod after the three months is up... |
