Commit to the repayment plan.

Whether you work out a repayment plan with your current lender or you refinance with us, it's essential to keep up with your payment. Missing a payment with a repayment plan could cancel it.

Repayment may increase your monthly payment.

It's important to understand that your repayment plan will increase your monthly payment. For example, your current lender may ask you to pay an additional $200 a month for the next two years. If you are looking to lower your mortgage or think that you will not be able to keep up with this arrangement, refinancing may be a better option.

Remember to ask about interest and late fees.

Paying interest on your past due mortgage is expected, but sometimes the interest on will be higher than your original loan.Late fees may also apply to your repayment plan.

If you are struggling to make your monthly payments, don't wait until foreclosure proceeding start before taking action. Talk to your current lender about making temporary changes to your loan, or better yet, refinance into a lower monthly mortgage payment.
