The private sector modification arena is now a hot spot with regulators. Basically, the focus is on eliminating the private sector arena all together. This does raise an important question—why?
No prudent or diligent studies were done to present a solution that would ensure that the home-owner is protected while working with a private sector modification firm. The home-owner is simply told that all private sector firms will steal your money—and that the home-owner’s Lender will absolutely ensure that the very best modified terms are presented.
The Lender may very well take care of the home-owner. However, the fact that bothers is why the home-owner has access to all sorts of avenues to report a private sector modification firm that does not perform, but there are absolutely no instructions of what to do when a Lender does not perform? Even the playing field would be nice.
Continue to pursue assisting home-owners with a modification. Do it the right way, follow the rules, keep at it. I think you will find home-owners that will become frustrated and seek professional as-assistance to get the job done.

LENDER FINANCIAL WORKSHEETS
Many Lender have issued specific financial worksheets required to request a mortgage modification. These financial worksheets are available from the Mail center by selecting Print, Email Or Fax next to the heading “package”.
In order to select these financial worksheets, you must have Word 2003 or Word 2007 available (Openoffice is compatible also in many cases).
Most parts of the financial worksheets are pre-populated. However, there are some sections that will require homeowner participation to complete.
