A retiring Chicago city employee had her home loan with CitiMortgage modified to 2 percent on a 40 year amortization and granted a two month payment holiday to rebuild reserves. Her husband has social security and a small pension but She was facing a large drop in pay as her retirement date of June 30, 2009 was fast approaching. She would be receiving a pension at only 40% of her prior pay and she didn’t have enough social security quarters to draw her own benefit. They had never been late on their mortgage so making a case for not being able to afford it might look opportunistic. I was very reluctant to take on this client because 31% of their future combined income was so low that I just couldn’t imagine CitiMortgage coming through for them so I advised that they try to sell the property while I made their plea for Making Home Affordable (MHA) with CitiMortgage. They had listed their home with a local realtor and weren’t able to get any bites even at what they owed so this was a scary situation all the way around. I have only the highest regards for CitiMortgage loss mitigation department because they were willing to work on preventing a train wreck rather than watch idly by. This was a fairly aggressive loan mod application because our client maintained her perfect credit and headed off future problems by contacting us in advance of her drop in pay.
