With the federal mortgage moratorium under the CARES Act expired this summer, many Hartford, CT homeowners presently in federally-mandated mortgage forbearance programs will no longer enjoy the protections of the federally mandated mortgage forbearance program. This leaves thousands of homeowners in the Hartford, CT area wondering what’s next for them and their homes. What can they do to get solid resolutions to foreclosure and how do they do it? The goal is to turn expiring mortgage forbearances into solid, mortgage modifications with excellent long-term interest rates. While the government continues to let banks and servicers control the process and the outcome, there are options to assure that borrowers can transform mortgage forbearance plans into long-term excellent modified mortgages. Every circumstance may be different, but the keys to success are always the same. You need to get educated quickly to learn your legal rights and how to enforce them.
Effective August 31, 2021 through January 1, 2022, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau provides special protections and options for borrowers’ existing COVID-19 forbearances. These include:
- Streamlined modification options for COVID-19 related mortgages with exiting COVID forbearance protections.
- Pressures on banks and servicers to be prompt and accurate with borrowers about loss mitigation opportunities.
- Pressure on banks and servicers to be more forgiving on incomplete applications.
- A clearer definition of “COVID-19” hardship
