My mortgage just went up! How do I get it back down?

Carl E. Person

If your mortgage payment just went up, there are two ways of getting it back down. One, is to talk to the bank and tell the bank your problem and see if they won't be willing to modify the agreement to lower the rate and that with the modification agreement with the consent of the bank. But if the bank won't do it, this is where people then go to a lawyer and tell the lawyer "Look, I can't afford it. I'm gonna have to stop paying the mortgage." And the lawyer might say "Well that's a fine thing. Stop paying. Let them sue you. We'll defend and then we will modify it on better terms."
