For the past few years, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has provided millions of homeowners struggling with their mortgage payments with a mortgage modification program. However, many homeowners are unaware of the specifics of this program and how to access it, leading to misinformation spreading across the social media app TikTok.
Mortgage modifications are solutions to help homeowners who are struggling to keep up with their mortgage payments or need help while they seek to get back on their feet. This can be done by making adjustments to the terms of the mortgage loan such as, lowering the interest rate, extending the repayment term, or even reducing the principal balance.
The FHA mortgage modification program is designed to help those affected by natural disasters, pandemics, job loss, etc., and can help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness, disinformation regarding this program is being spread on social media platforms like TikTok. The FHA attempts to directly respond to these false claims, but reach is limited and the false messages are gaining traction.
It’s important to note that not all mortgage providers accept the FHA modification program, so it is important to contact your mortgage provider directly to learn more about the options available to you. Ultimately, homeowners who are struggling and seeking more information to help them should reach out to their mortgage providers and consider reputable sources for accurate information about FHA loan modifications.
