Just be aware that you don’t need to pay anyone to help you get a loan modification — you can seek one by contacting your lender directly.

Sometimes it makes sense to pay for professional help but it is always a “buyer beware” situation when you do so.

Every thing we see from official Presidential sources says companies charging any fees are not legal. What do you know about this?
