hi mrscoolh!

welcome to forums!

i think you should first speak to both the lenders and inform them about your father's death. you should also inform them about your problems in paying the debt. the lender may agree to do a loan modification or a forbearance.

if you are opting for forbearance, the lender will suspend or reduce your payments for few months depending upon you situation and also give you an alternate payment plan to pay off the dues. to know more about forbearance, check out the following link:

in case of a loan modification, you will need to contact the loss mitigation department of the lender. if they agree for a loan modification, the lender will give you an alternate repayment plan.

feel free to ask if you have further queries.

i think there was a modification or foreberance, not sure which done right when he died, he was in the middle of it, so they proceeded. will they take my home away without giving me a chance to catch it up? that is what i am scared of. i am fixing to make a payment of 887.00, then i iwll only owe for nov. and now dec. it will make it a little better. i am really worried, and donot know how to start this

Hi mrscoolh

I think the lender will definitely give you a chance to catch up on the payments. Speak to the lender immediately and check out the options that he can offer you. May be they will give you the option of loan modification.

Thanks.
