Has your mortgage loan servicer put you in a forbearance without you even asking? If so, watch out. You might have thought that you could breathe a sigh of relief without making mortgage payments for a few months, but they may be setting you up for failure and ultimately a foreclosure.
Several news outlets have reported that Wells Fargo put some mortgage loans into forbearance without any request from the homeowner. This can, for many will, have a cascading effect of misfortunes. First off, putting you into a forbearance without your request could seriously damage your credit.
Secondly, what happens at the end of the forbearance period? They may require you to make all missed payments during the forbearance in one lump sum. Don’t have that money lying around? Well, they will begin foreclosure proceedings at some point. Trust us, no loan servicer has your best interest at heart. You are not their client, you are their product. Their clients are the big banks, the loan investors, and their shareholders. We have seen mortgage companies take advantage of people thousands of times over the years. Do not think it won’t happen to you.
