Planet Home Lending Loan Modification

Planet Home Lending Loan Modification Process

The Planet Home Lending Modification process follows the conventional loan modification process:

1. Initiation of the process by a phone interview.
2. Submission of completed Planet Request for mortgage assistance (RMA) form with supporting documents and complete finances.
3. A Property Valuation is Completed (If, Applicable) – Often this is done via an automated valuation model (AVM)
4. Terms of Modification Are Reviewed, Negotiated and Sent To Underwriting
5. Lender Provides A Response

The loan modification process is sadly never this easy and that is why we, Absolute Consultant Group (ACG) are here to support homeowners through the process. There is always back and forth with the Planet Loan Modification Process. Submitting documents over and over again is very typical.  Often you will get transfered from department to department having you run around from Planet Bank Home Mortgage Loan Modifiation Department to Planet’s’s Customer Service Department. Often clients come to us after submitting the wrong information on their application, getting denied, and not being able to figure out what happened. Our staff is available to review your paperwork and to help you step with the best foot forward. Call us at 888-934-3444.

Planet Mortgage Loan Modification Timeline

Dealing with large companies such as Planet Home Lending you know there is a lot of bureaucracy involved. Planet Home Lending’s  Loan Modifcation timelines vary often on obvious and other not so obvious reasons. Here are a few of the reasons this question has such complicated answers.

• For one, Planet Home Lending is only working a loan servicer. Meaning that they are often representing the debt on someone elses behalf largely limiting their ability to make the decisions on their own. As a servicer they have to abide by their PSA or Pooling and Servicing Agreement that they have with each investor. The investor may allow the company to make some decisions on its behalf but never all the decisions. This means that they have to get permision or approval for the decisions that they are not allowed to make. Some investors such as Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) have pulled almost all decision making authority from most servicers. As you can imagine the more parties invovled the longer it takes and the more someone like Planet’s Mortgage Department has their hands tied.

• Another issue, affecting the modification timeline is urgency. This business is a first come first service until you ask if your Planet Home Loan has a sale date? If it does, chances are you are going to get bumped up in the process. Servicers such as Planet Home Mortgage have homes going to sale just about all the time. Sales even set a week from today are not worked as urgently as you might want because of foreclosures pending going to auction between today, tomorrow and the next day. Remember this business is a first come first serve but it is also influenced by foreclosure status and proximity to the sale date.
• Lastly, There is no one program that fits for all mortgage solutions. You often will be reviewed for a large number of programs. If you don’t qualify for the first modification type they will review you for the next one. In the banking world departments become very specialized in their  particular types of programs. Loan modification negotiators review only loan modifications and short sale negotiators only review short sales. The method is called the waterfall process and you will also find that often you are reviewed by different loan modification departments at each step of the waterfall.

Planet Mortgage Loan Modification Timeline Conclusion: Sorry to say but time frames vary greatly. Whether the decisions can be made in house or have to be sent out for approval, whether you fit the first plan you are reviewed for or the 10th plan, along with factors outside the bank including but not limited to how fast they are able to get their property values back from valuation companies, how fast documents are received legibly on their end and much much more all effect how long it will take for your Planet Mortgage Loan Modification to be reviewed.
