Pre-screening Loan Mods in Brooklyn

I just attended a pre-screening conference this week for a nice couple who are trying to save their home. They encountered some hardships from a loss of income and a horrific amount of family deaths in the Haitian Earthquake. We went to court armed with our financial information and ready to discuss HAMP. We found out that the actual loan mod conference was not on the calendar. Only a pre-screening conference. It entailed saying hello to a nice court clerk who gave us a date to come back again in 4 months. That’s it – we were pre-screened. Astonishing. We’ll use the next few months to prepare and submit the necessary papers to the lender but really, this system could be so much better.
