Many mortgage servicing companies have refused to modify second mortgages and many homeowners have
defaulted on their home equity line of credit because their variable rate payments rose beyond their affordability.
Most mortgage lenders and banks don't want you to
default on your home equity line of credit, so they will work those struggling to make payments.
Not exact matches
If you
default on a
home equity loan or a
home equity line of credit, the lender can foreclose
on your house.
Because a
home equity line of credit is secured by your
home, meaning the lender could foreclose
on your
home if you
defaulted on your loan, you can usually obtain a lower interest rate
on a HELOC than you'd get with a personal
line of credit.
For many
home equity lenders, this is interpreted as being able to shut you off from your available
line of home equity credit if market conditions in your area make the value
of your
home decline, or if your income has been reduced to where they feel you are at great risk
of defaulting on payment to them for
credit already extended.
