Whenever you take out a loan from a bank on our property, your account gets handled by one of the hundreds of mortgage companies in the country. They are responsible for collecting payments from you and then get a percentage of that amount that you pay.

However, there have been speculations that because of the percentage and fees that these mortgage companies receive, they would be tempted to not exert much effort in collecting and giving loan restructuring but rather to allow them to foreclose their property at an amount very less than its actual cost. There are additional fees and expenses that they ask for when foreclosing rather than in loan modifications, as well as an increase in percentage for delinquent accounts.

Banks vehemently deny this claim, standing by their position that their clients and customers are always their top priority, and that they do not wish to destroy this customer relationship.  However, since we don’t know what is happening inside these banks, we cannot be sure of what is actually occurring. We can only trust and believe in what they are doing.

So, if you think your mortgage company can help you lessen your debt, then you can just think again and go to your bank for help. Most mortgage companies are concerned with how much they will earn from all their charges, especially those fees that they can get from having a property foreclosed. You would be better off negotiating with your bank.
