Loan Sharks
In the world today, it is not at all unusual to find yourself short of the cash you need to pay your bills, feed your family and maintain a reasonable lifestyle. For every working stiff who runs out of money before they run out of week, there are unfortunately a number of shady characters willing to loan you all the money you need at an exorbitant interest rate. You will have to be careful to avoid these loan sharks when you find yourself in need of quick cash.
Loan sharks are not just something made up in Hollywood to sell movie tickets. Unfortunately, loan sharks are all too real and getting involved with one can wreak havoc on your personal and professional life.
Loan sharks prey on people in financial distress. These people are often unable to obtain loans through traditional channels like banks and savings and loans. Often this is because of either bad credit or the nature of the debt they have incurred. A compulsive gambler may not be able to convince their local bank loan officer to help pay off their gambling debts. Likewise, if your credit is poor, you will find it extremely difficult to obtain a loan at a reasonable interest rate. Any time you borrow money, it is vital to know the interest rate you will be required to pay. If you interest rate is too high, you may never be able to pay off your debt. Your debt may pile up faster than you can pay it off. This is good for the loan sharks but bad for you. Loan sharks want to keep you in debt. This makes you dependent on them for ever increasing amounts of money.
Even if you are not a gambling man and not involved in any shady dealings, you can still fall victim to loan sharks of various stripes. Many so called payday loan and payday cash advance companies are actually loan sharks in disguise. They often charge exorbitant rates of interest in exchange for the quick cash they dispense. Although technically legal, these businesses are considered loan sharks by a great many of their former and current customers.
No matter what type of loan sharks you get mixed up with, extricating yourself from their clutches may be one of the biggest challenges you will ever face. Loan sharks, both the legal kind and the back alley kind, are notorious for chasing down the money they are owed. While not every loan shark is of the old leg breaking school, they will find ways to make your life miserable until you pay them what you owe. They will most likely visit you at your home or place of work to demand their payments. This tactic is extremely effective for the loan sharks and highly disconcerting for you. In addition to putting your personal relationships and your job in jeopardy, these type of tactics violate your sense of personal freedom and personal space.
The best way to deal with loan sharks is not to get involved with them in the first place. Anytime you need a loan, make sure you deal only with reputable firms. Make sure you know with whom you are dealing and that you get a full disclosure of the interest rate charged by the lender and all associated fees. One of the most common tricks loan sharks use to keep their customers in debt is to charge extremely high late payment fees, often as high as 1 to 1.5% per day. You can see how quickly your loan can spiral out of control at rates like this.
If you've already fallen into the clutches of a loan shark, the best way (probably the only way) to make them go away is to pay your debt in full. You may need to swallow your pride and borrow the funds you need from your relatives. It is always hard to admit to financial problems, and many people let their debt get completely out of control before they seek help. Your family and friends will most likely be willing to help you out with your financial issues. They will probably be more understanding than you expect. After all, most people wrestle with financial demons at some point in their lives.
Once you have banished the financial demons that loan sharks represent, it is vital that you not repeat your past mistakes. If you have a problem with gambling, seek help for your addiction. It is important to get your financial house in order so that you will no longer be easy prey for the loan sharks that prowl the financial waters.

Here will be a sample of a hardship letter that will explain the basic feel that should be used in the letter. Provided is a sample hardship letter along with instructions for what one should bring up in their own letter. The lender needs this letter to see if you qualify for the loan, everyone's letter will be different with different reasons as to why they need a loan modification, in order for the lender to take your situation seriously you must also tell your story.

[The name your loan is under, usually your own.]
[Your residential address, which is also the address you are requesting loan modification on. Loan modifications are not allowed for properties that are not lived in.]
[Your phone number and email]
To Whom It May Concern: (Or the persons name if you know it.)
[Explain the reason for the loan modification in the hardship letter.] The reason for this letter is to explain the reason I/we have fallen behind on the mortgage payments. I am requesting that you work with us/me on a loan modification. I/we have come across some hard times that are making everything a struggle. I/we would like to work out a plan with you and possibly work out different terms on the mortgage so we can stay in our home.
[Keep the explanation of the reasons short and to the point. Try to limit it to about one paragraph.] I lost my job a few months back and have not be able to find anything that pays enough to pay all of my bills or other expenses. I had some savings that I have been using to try to stay afloat but that is now gone. I have however found a position that pays well enough to get back on my feet and am scheduled to begin working in a few days. My spouse, who pays half of our monthly expenses, has fallen ill with X and can no longer work because of the medical treatment. Fortunately the doctors expect a full recovery within 6 months. Although it is great that my spouse will recover, the medical treatment being used is expensive and we can not afford to pay our other expenses along with the medical treatment.
[Explain your come back plan.] After doing the math I have come to the conclusion that with my new position I will be able to pay monthly expenses including the mortgage payment of $X. As soon as my spouse recovers from her illness we will be financially stable again however until that day comes we will be a little strapped for money. If possible we are requesting [Ask for exactly the loan modification agreement you feel you can handle and they will approve of]
Thank you for you patience and time. Thank you for looking over my situation and considering the home loan modification plan that will help us get back on our feet.
Sincerely,
[Signature]

The lenders are just trying to determine if you are at risk of defaulting again.

Loan Modifications - Citigroup Adds 1,400 New Employees to Its Loan Mod Department
In an attempt to handle the wave of loan modification applications, Citigroup, the nation's fourth largest loan servicer, has added 1,400 new employees to its staff, reaching a total of 4,000 employees in the loan mod department. This addition to staff is the direct result of pressure by the Obama administration for mortgage players to do more for homeowners facing financial hardship.
For San Diego homeowners, loan modifications are taking anywhere from 60-120 business days for processing. Analysts cite reasons such as the slow pace is the lack of adequate staff and infrastructure by loan servicer companies. "Not only did we invest in substantially more people, but we invested massively in telephone lines and infrastructure" to implement the loan modification program, said Sanjiv Das, chief executive officer of CitiMortgage.
Citigroup's chief executive officer has said foreclosure prevention is among the top priorities for the bank. "[Pandit] basically said that he would invest whatever it took for us to massively ramp up the number of modifications," Das said. "I could walk into his office and could get almost anything I wanted to get this program up and running." In June 2009, the percentage of Citigroup-serviced loans 90 days past due rose to 4.7%, up from 3.9% in March and 2.6% in June 2008, according to a report from Citigroup.
The San Diego real estate market has seen a sharp drop in real estate prices, as well as employment, triggering the need for lower mortgage payments that may be possibly through a loan mod.
Julie Fontaine is the author of "Homeowner's Guide to Avoiding Foreclosure - Strategies & Solutions", and is a business partner in a successful short sale & loan mod company in San Diego, California. On the web you can find us at http://www.619ShortSale.com or Troubled Property Solutions
