			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Attorney/Law Firm Loan Modification Program</strong></p>
<p>This program helps homeowners who may have a financial hardship but could afford their mortgage with a loan modification. We refer clients to a trusted attorney or law firm specializing in loan modification.</p>
<p>Benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Most loan types qualify</li>
<li>Other legal services available, including bankruptcy</li>
<li>Have legal representation for a fraction of the typical cost</li>
<li>Available in Most States, including California</li>
<li>Commercial Loans also accepted</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: This program is usually the best option for homeowners that have a more complicated scenario, such as multiple properties, foreclosure, self-employed, or feel as if they were misrepresented; however, it’s not for homeowners who have very little or no income and would not be able to qualify for a loan modification. This program is best suited for homeowners who do not have significant negative equity in their properties, as principal reduction is only an option in very limited circumstances.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been reported that up to 70% of mortgages originated during the &#8220;boom&#8221; years contained violations to the rights of borrowers under federal and state fair lending laws.</p>
<p>These laws protect homeowners, and the discovery and documentation of violations can be invaluable for homeowners trying to negotiate a mortgage or loan modification.  </p>
<p>For example, a violation to TILA, or the Truth in Lending Act, extends a borrower&#8217;s right to cancel from three days to three years.</p>
<p>In order to determine if your rights were violated, you may want to consider obtaining a<a href="http://thehdn.org/category/forensic-audit/" target="_self"> forensic loan audit</a>.</p>
