mortgage modifications and my credit score
I am current in my 1st and 2nd mortgages. Each month is a struggle. Can I modify my mortgages without negatively effecting my credit? If so, how can I get the mortgage companies to work with me. I have been getting the run around!

Many lenders still are not interested in loan modifications, even if the alternative is the borrower walking away from the loan, leaving them with the property. If you don't get anywhere with the lender, contact a real estate attorney for assistance either through www.attorneypages.com or get some names from your local bar association. They might even have some attorneys doing this work pro bono now.
