I decided to hold tight and see what happened , and with the Obama plan Countrywide stopped all contact with me. I contacted NACA and started the process of modification, I was turned down in August. Today NACA contacted me to tell me BofA offer. My Question to the Helpful Americans at Landsafe is: Is their any bargaining after their proposal offer? the offer is still too expensive for me to handle over the long haul, I had told Carrie @ NACA that I have $7000. to put towards payment to try to get payment down she figured it out on 1st loan and it would be about $40.00 a month cheaper, also I asked her if they can extend my loan, I thought the $ would show good faith that I do want to keep my house. she also informed me that they offered me interest only for 5 years and then rates would go back up to the current interest rate of 8.75% on 1st and 11.25% on 2nd and would be able to try modification after 5 years. Any formula I might use to get payments down close to $1200.00 monthly? to be able to make it. I called NACA and talked to Carrie Crawford. Thanks in Advance for any suggestions or comments. Pat FOLLOWING NACA EMAIL Carrie @ NACA here. Bankof America has completed the review of your file, and have proposed the following offer: 1ST MORTGAGE New Rate: 4.125% Fixed for the remainder of the loan New Principal and Interest: $1046 New Principal and Interest + Taxes (this is the total monthly payment amount): $1240 2ND MORTGAGE: New Rate: 2.0% Fixed for the remainder of the loan New Principal and Interest: $436 Please let NACA know your decision on this offer as soon as possible. You may reach me back at 901/348/0115 or call 888/404/NACA Thankyou. Carrie Crawford, NACA HomeSave ccrawford@naca.com |

In addition, the interest rates have been lowered and are fixed for the life of theloan. What are your original interest rates and payments? |

You are within $40 of your target payment amount and this includes your property taxes PLUS it appears you don't have to pay in the $7K so will have that to help you make your payments over time. If you want to keep your house, I would jump on it. Then I would check into whether your property values are accurate and if they are too high, I would appeal them. That will help lower your total payment. Good luck! |

Both loans are fixed for the life of the loan! I do not see them offering anything better. They lowered your first by a whole 4% and you 2nd by almost 9%...

I am looking for any bargaining chip that is why I offered the $7000I am hoping they'll extend the terms as that will lower my payments some. Pat |

If this is not affordable then you should move because the interest rates are great and they didn't extend your loan. People would kill for these terms. |
