Short Refinancing

It is a transaction whereby the lender agrees to accept less than the total amount owed. It allows the owner to retain ownership of the property while at the same time avoiding foreclosure or having to declare bankruptcy.

Informal Payment Plan

It is usually a short-term plan and is based on the borrower's ability to make payments. This program is often used when the loan is in the initial stage of delinquency (30 to 60 days) and can last for 90 to 120 days. This plan can be done through a verbal or a written agreement.

Formal Payment Plan

An analysis of the borrower's financial situation is made and based on the borrower's ability to catch up with his or her arrears, a payment plan is established to correct the delinquency. Counseling is usually offered to the borrower. A Formal Payment Plan is always done in writing and can have a much longer term than the informal plan. Based on the borrower's excess of income over expenses, formal plans usually result in a monthly payment.
