Many mortgage modifications are granted even after mortgage payments have been returned uncashed. Unfortunately, returned payments are often a sign that the bank is preparing to foreclose.

If a bank returns a payment instead of cashing it, be certain not to spend the money! Saving uncashed, returned payments is often the key to successfully saving a home through governmental plans or private mortgage modification.
