2nd mortage charged off

Posted on: 25th Oct, 2008 02:09 pm
i'm in the same situation as the person above. i was looking to have both loans modified as they are with the same company. the firs was modified and the young lady told me that they may just charge off the second mortgage. i called to check the status and the 1st was approved for the mod and the second was infact charged off. i don't plan to move anytime soon and i believe that i have time on my side. my question is can the collection company foreclose for a charge off, and do i have to make payments to them if it would be hard for me now?

is this something that companies are doing because of the mortgage crisis our country is in now?
Hi kevindsr!

It is always better to pay off the debts to the collection agency. Yes, if you do not pay it, they may place liens on your property or may even foreclose it. To know more about charge-off, you can check the following link:

Hi kevindsr!

Yes, the collection agency can definitely foreclose your property if you do not pay the debts. However the collection agencies also offer loan modification. You can check the plans with them and try to for a loan modification with this. I think it will be easier for you to pay off the debts with the new plan.

Thanks.
